    Flow of Electrons

    Explanation:

    It has a positive charge inside of the sphere.

    Since the metal is positively charged it must be deficient in electrons. Whereas in a neutral body there is equal number of electron and proton. In a material only electrons can flow. When a neutral sphere is brought in touch with the metal plate, electrons will begin to flow from the sphere to the metal plate. Hence, the sphere will acquire positive charge.
