Question

Which of the following are transferred from one object to another when these two objects are charged by friction?
A. atoms
B. protons
C. neutrons
D. electrons

Answer 1

Answer:

electrons are transferredfrom one object to another when these two objects are charged by friction.

Answer 2

D. Electrons are transferred from one object to another when two objects are charged by friction.

Explanation:

• When two objects rubbing each other then there is friction between two objects.
• Due to friction, there is movement of electrons from one object to another object.
• All objects have atoms in it which have electrons and protons in them. The energy required to take electrons from an atom is less compared to energy required to take proton.
• Thus, motion of electrons takes place due to friction, the object which losses electrons is positively charged and object which gains electrons is negatively charged.
