Question

During electrification by friction

• A. Proton 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

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Electrons are transferred from one body to another body

When a body is rubbed over another,transfer of electrons from one body to another. Thus one body acquires a net positive charge and the other acquires net negative charge.proton and neutron are packed in the nucleus thus they cannot move.

example - When a glass rod is rubbed with a silk cloth some electrons from the glass attach themselves to the silk. Consequently, the glass becomes positively charged and the silk negatively charged. Likewise when ebonite is rubbed with fur electrons are transferred from fur to ebonite, thus making the ebonite negative and the fur positive.

Option C is correct.
