I have two conducting spheres of equal radii.Sphere I initially carries -1.0 C of charge, and Sphere II initially carries 4.5 C of charge.I bring them into electrical contact momentarily, and then separate them.During that contact, how many electrons were transferred between the spheres, and in what direction?

A. 3.43 x 1019 electrons were transferred from Sphere I to Sphere II.

B.2.18 x 1019 electrons were transferred from Sphere I to Sphere II.

C.2.18 x 1019electrons were transferred from Sphere II to Sphere I.

D. 1.72 x 1019electrons were transferred from Sphere I to Sphere II.

E.1.72 x 1019electrons were transferred from Sphere II to Sphere I.
