Base your answer on the diagram below which represents two small, charged conducting spheres, identical in size, located 2.00 meters apart.

A conductor is connected between spheres A and B and then removed after charge has transferred. During the period the conductor was attached, what was the direction of the flow of the charged particles?

• Protons flowed from A to B. only.

• Electrons flowed from B to A,only.

• Protons flowed from A to B as electrons flowed from B to A.

• Protons flowed from B to A as electrons flowed from A to B.

Base your answer to the following question on the diagram below which shows two identical metal spheres. Sphere A has a charge of +12 coulombs and sphere B is a neutral sphere.

• 1/4 the original amount

• 1/2 the original amount

• 4 times the original amount
