Question
The process of rubbing results in a transfer of _________ from one body to the other.
- Protons
- Atoms
- Electrons
- Neutrons
Hint:
Electrons transfer from one body to other
The correct answer is: Electrons
The process of rubbing results in a transfer of electrons from one body to the other.
Electrons move freely within the structure of an atom but protons are bound in the nucleus and therefore immobile. Conductivity will therefore occur when electrons move from one atom to another and not protons due to their immobility
