Question

What is the cause of electrification of two different bodies on rubbing?

• A. Transfer of protons
• B. Transfer of neutrons
• C. Transfer of electrons
• D. Transfer of protons and neutrons

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Transfer of electrons

1. When two bodies are rubbed together, they get charged.
2. This process of charging the bodies by rubbing is known as charging by friction because the rubbing of two surfaces gives rise to friction.
3. It is mainly due to the transfer of electrons.

Hence, option C is correct.
