Initial charges on identical conducting spheres X and Y.
Initial charges on identical conducting spheres X and Y.
Two identical, isolated conducting spheres, \(X\) and \(Y\), are mounted on insulating stands. Sphere \(X\) initially carries a net charge of \(+8.0 \text{ } \mu\text{C}\), and sphere \(Y\) initially carries a net charge of \(-1.6 \text{ } \mu\text{C}\). The spheres are brought into contact, allowed to reach electrostatic equilibrium, and then separated. Which of the following correctly identifies the number of electrons transferred during contact and the direction of their transfer?
