Question

When an ebonite rod is rubbed with fur, the electrons move from the ebonite rod to fur.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. When an ebonite rod is rubbed with fur the rod gets negatively charged because the friction between the fur and the rod makes the ebonite rod gain electrons from the fur.
2. This is because electrons in fur are less tightly bound than the electrons in the ebonite rod.
3. Thus, the fur becomes positively charged.

Hence, the given statement is false.
