During a physics lab, a plastic strip was rubbed with cotton and became positively charged. The correct explanation for why the plastic strip becomes positively charged is that ...

• the plastic strip acquired extra protons from the cotton.
  
• the plastic strip acquired extra protons from the charging process 
• protons were created as the result of the charging process
  
• the plastic strip lost electrons to the cotton during the charging process 

Insulators are different than conductors in that insulators ____.

• do not contain electrons or protons 
•  do not contain any charge
• have a weaker affinity for electrons 
• do not allow charge to freely move 

A glass rod becomes positively charged when it is rubbed with silk. This net positive charge accumulates because the glass rod

• gains electrons
• loses electrons
• gains protons
• loses protons
