Question

A person rubs a neutral comb through their hair and the comb becomes negatively charged. Which of the
following is the best explanation for this phenomenon?
(A) The hair gains protons from the comb.
(B) The hair gains protons from the comb while giving electrons to the comb.
(C) The hair loses electrons to the comb.
(D) The comb loses protons to the person’s hand while also gaining electrons from the hair.

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Explanation:

the hair loses electrons to the comb

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is Option C i.e. The hair loses electrons to the comb.

Explanation:

When charge is produced in any object, the only transfer of subatomic particles is that of electrons.

Protons cannot be transferred from one object to other.

When hair is rubbed against comb, it loses some electrons to the comb.

Hence the comb gets negatively charged.

Hence option C is correct.
