I know that metal is a "reservoir" of electrons, whereby electrons can flow out and in easily, so when conducting sphere is rubbed against metals, is there even a resulting charge on the conducting sphere?
 
Is this a homework problem? If so, please give us your thoughts on the matter.

I think there will not be a fixed charge on conducting material
