Question

During electrification by friction

• A. protons are transferred from one body to another body.
• B. neutrons are transferred from one body to another body.
• C. electrons are transferred from one body to another body.
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C

electrons are transferred from one body to another body.

Electrification is the process of developing a charge in a body. It is of three types,

1. By friction- two bodies are rubbed together, electrons are transferred from one body to another body.
2. Conduction- involves the contact of a charged body with a neutral object
3. By induction- the uncharged body is placed close to the charged body but in contact

Hence, the correct option is (C).
