Question

A positive rod is touched to a neutral sphere. There is a bar with positively charged particles attached to a ball with positive and negative charged particles. Which best explains the arrow’s purpose in the diagram? It is showing the direction that protons move in, making the sphere negative. It is showing the direction that protons move in, making the sphere positive. It is showing the direction that electrons move in, making the sphere positive. It is showing the direction that electrons move in, making the sphere negative.

Answer 1

Answer: A is correct

It is showing the direction that protons move in, making the sphere negative
