Question

If you rub a glass rod with a piece of silk which of these is not true?

  1. Rod becomes positively charged
  2. Silk has become negatively charged
  3. Friction causes charges in both
  4. Glass attracts more protons

hintHint:

The glass rod does not attract protons.

The correct answer is: Glass attracts more protons


    The statement that says the glass rod attracts protons more is incorrect.
    • When the glass rod is rubbed with silk, the electrons from the glass rod move to the silk.
    • As a result, the silk becomes negatively charged and the rod remains positively charged.
    • The rod becomes positively charged as the protons remain in the rod and the rod does not attract protons.
