Answer:

The correct option is (c).

Explanation:

In the conduction process, the electrons get transferred from one object to the other object. The electrons are freely charged particles. Protons cannot  be moved freely.

In the given problem, the given aluminum pie plate is negatively-charged initially. After the conduction process, the plate gets electrically neutral.

It means that the excess of electrons from the aluminum pie plate is removed. Then, the number of electrons and the number of protons becomes equal. The plate becomes electrically neutral.

Therefore, the correct option is "Electrons were removed from the object".

What is the difference between a physical change and a chemical change
Contact [7]
A physical change in something doesn't change what the it is. For example, if you break glass, it will still be glass. In a chemical change where there is a chemical reaction, a new thing is formed and energy is either given off or absorbed. For example, when you burn a log. The carbon in the log is reacting to the oxygen to create ashe and smoke

A satellite at a particular point along an elliptical orbit has a gravitational potential energy of 4700 MJ with respect to Eart
erastovalidia [21]

during satellite motion we know that total energy is always conserved

so here we will have

KE_i + PE_i = KE_f + PE_f

here we know that

KE_i = 4800 MJ

PE_i = 4700 MJ

now at other position

PE_f = 6000 MJ

now from above equation we have

4800 +4700 = 6000 + KE

now we have

9500 = 6000 + KE

KE = 9500 - 6000 = 3500 MJ

so its kinetic energy will be 3500 MJ

A negatively charged particle is moving to the right, directly above a wire having a current flowing to the right, as shown belo
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

As the current in the ire is towards right and the charge particle is above the wire, the direction of magnetic field due to the current carrying wire is perpendicularly outwards to the plane of paper. It is calculated by the Maxwell's right hand thumb rule. Now by using the Fleming's left hand rule, the direction of force is upwards.
