Why is the charge on a charged sphere distributed uniformly over its surface?

-Similar charges seek to be the minimum distance possible from each other.
-Opposite charges seek to be the maximum distance possible from each other.
-Similar charges seek to be the maximum distance possible from each other.
-None of the above

Answer:

Similar charges seek to be the maximum distance possible from each other

Step-by-step explanation:

On a charged sphere, there are like charges and these like charges are repelled by each other to the far ends of the sphere. Hence they are distributed uniformly in the sphere.
