When two objects are rubbed together, there is a transfer of electrons. How do you determine which object acquires the transferred electrons?

• Always transfer from the bigger to the smaller object, to make it even

• Transfer is based on the initial charge of the two objects

• Transfer is based on how much electron affinity that each object has

• Always transfer from the more negative to the more positive object

What is the end result of charging by contact?

• Both object have the same charge, so they will attract one another

• Both object have the same charge, so they will repel one another

• Both object have the opposite charge, so they will attract one another

• Both object have the opposite charge, so they will repel one another

When a charged object contacts another object (one is usually a conductor), there is a transfer of electrons. How do you determine which object acquires the transferred electrons?

• Always transfer from the bigger to the smaller object, to make it even

• Transfer is based on the initial charge of the two objects

• Transfer is based on how much electron affinity that each object has

• Always transfer from the more negative to the more positive object
