Question

Write true or false for this statement:
When an ebonite rod is rubbed with fur, the protons move from the ebonite rod to the fur.

Answer 1

When an ebonite rod is rubbed with fur, only the free electrons move from the fur to the ebonite rod. Thus the rod gains electrons and becomes negatively charged. Protons and neutrons are firmly bonded in the nucleus so they can’t easily transfer.

Hence, the statement given in the question is false.
