Answer 1

When Jack touches a negatively charged plastic rod to a metal sphere, the negative charges will spread out evenly throughout the sphere. This is because the charges repel each other and will distribute themselves to minimize repulsion, leading to an even distribution across the surface of the conductor.

**Correct response: They spread out evenly.**
