Question
Two metallic spheres A and B kept on insulating stands are in contact with each other. A positively charged rod P is brought near the sphere A as shown in the figure. The two spheres are separated from each other, and the rod P is removed. What will be the nature of charges on spheres A and B?

Solution 1
On sphere A there will be negative charge & one sphere B there will be positive charge
Solution 2
When we bring a positively charged rod near the sphere A, The free electrons in the spheres are attracted to the rod. This leaves an excess of positive charge on the farther surface of sphere B. Now after separating the spheres and removing the rod, the charges on spheres rearrange themselves and get uniformly distributed over them, as shown in Figure given below.
