A plastic rod is rubbed with a cloth. The rod becomes positively charged because of the movement of charged particles. Which row gives the name of these charged particles and the direction in which they move?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the process of charging a plastic rod through friction, specifically identifying the type of charged particles involved and their movement direction. To solve this, we need to understand electric charge, especially how rubbing materials causes electron transfer.
Answer
B (electrons, from rod to cloth)
The final answer is B (electrons move from rod to cloth)
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is B (electrons move from rod to cloth)
More Information
Electrons are the charged particles that transfer when objects are rubbed together. The rod becomes positively charged as electrons are transferred from the rod to the cloth.
Tips
Common mistake: Confusing the direction of electron movement. Remember that losing electrons makes an object positively charged.
