AP Physics 2
10.2 Conservation of Electric Charge and the Process of Charging
10.1 Electric Charge and Electric Force

Experiment 1: Spheres \(Y\) and \(Z\) are placed in physical contact with each other. Sphere \(X\) is brought near sphere \(Y\) (on the side opposite sphere \(Z\)) without touching it. While sphere \(X\) remains in place, sphere \(Z\) is moved away so that it is no longer in contact with sphere \(Y\). Finally, sphere \(X\) is removed.
Experiment 2: Starting again with sphere \(X\) carrying charge \(+Q\) and spheres \(Y\) and \(Z\) uncharged and separated, sphere \(X\) is brought into contact with sphere \(Y\) and then removed. Sphere \(Y\) is then brought into contact with sphere \(Z\) and separated.
Which of the following correctly pairs the signs of the final net charges on spheres \(Y\) and \(Z\) in Experiment 1 with the magnitude of the final net charge on sphere \(Z\) in Experiment 2?
