Question

The table shows results from an experiment in which objects made up of different materials are rubbed with each other. Based on the results, what can be predicted if an object made of rubber is rubbed with an object made of glass? A) The glass object will become negatively charged, and the rubber object will remain neutral. B) The rubber object will become negatively charged, and the glass object will remain neutral. C) The glass object will become negatively charged, and the rubber object will become positively charged. D) The rubber object will become negatively charged, and the glass object will become positively charged.

Answer 1

Answer:

D) The rubber object will become negatively charged, and the glass object will become positively charged.

Explanation:

Electron affinity of rubber or glass will decide the thing that rubber will get the negative charge or the glass will get the negative charge

As we know that if the electron affinity of a given material is high then that material will not lose its electron while rubbing with some other material.

When we compare rubber and glass then we know that electron affinity of rubber is more as compare to glass.

So rubber will get negative charge when we rub it with glass

so correct answer will be

D) The rubber object will become negatively charged, and the glass object will become positively charged.
