Two identical conductive spheres, one with charge +8 μC and one uncharged, are brought into contact and then separated. What is the final charge on each?
A+8 μC and 0 μC
B+4 μC and +4 μC
C0 μC and 0 μC
D−4 μC and −4 μC
Explanation
📌 Identical conductors share charge equally on contact. Total (+8 μC) splits: each gets +4 μC. Distractor A: forgot sharing; C: charge does not vanish; D: wrong sign.
