Three small, lightweight insulated spheres, LLL, MMM, and NNN, each carry a non-zero net static charge.

It is observed that:

  • Sphere L L\,L is attracted to sphere MMM.
  • Sphere M M\,M is repelled by sphere NNN.

Which of the following statements correctly describes the relative numbers of protons and electrons within the spheres?

Spheres LLL and MMM both have more electrons than protons; sphere NNN has more protons than electrons.

Spheres LLL, MMM, and NNN all have equal numbers of protons and electrons.

Sphere LLL has more protons than electrons; spheres MMM and NNN both have more electrons than protons.

Sphere LLL has more electrons than protons; spheres MMM and NNN both have more electrons than protons.
