Electrons move to the neutral object

Protons move to the neutral object

Neutrons move to the neutral object

The neutral object becomes positively charged

What happens when a balloon rubs a piece of wool?

Electrons are pulled from the wool to the balloon.

Electrons are pulled from the balloon to the wool.

Protons are pulled from the wool to the balloon.

Protons are pulled from the balloon to the wool.

What happens when a charged rod is placed in contact with a neutral sphere?

Electrons move from the rod to the sphere.

The sphere gains protons from the rod.

What is the charge of the sphere after the rod is removed?

It depends on the material of the sphere.

What is the result of the charging process on the object being charged?

It gains a charge with the same sign as the charging object.

It gains a charge opposite to the charging object.

What is induction in the context of electric charges?

The production of a charge in an uncharged body by bringing a charged object close to it

The removal of a charge from a charged body by bringing an uncharged object close to it

The transfer of electrons from one charged body to another

The neutralization of a charged body by grounding it

What happens when a negatively charged rod is placed near a metal can?

Electrons of the can are pushed away from the rod

Electrons of the can are attracted towards the rod

The can becomes uniformly charged

What is the relationship between attraction and repulsion in this induction scenario?

Attraction is greater than repulsion

Attraction is less than repulsion

Attraction is equal to repulsion

There is no attraction or repulsion

What is charging by induction?

Charging by bringing a charged object near a conducting surface

What happens to electrons during charging by induction?

Electrons are made to move in the surface material

Electrons are added to the object

Electrons are removed from the object

What does the negative charge at the bottom of a cloud induce?

A positive charge on the buildings below

A negative charge on the ground

A neutral charge on the buildings below

No charge on the buildings below

What happens when a metal ball of positive charge is touched during grounding?

Electrons flow from the earth to the metal ball to neutralize it.

Protons flow from the metal ball to the earth to neutralize it.

Electrons flow from the metal ball to the earth to neutralize it.

Neutrons flow from the earth to the metal ball to neutralize it.

What happens to the centers of positive and negative charge in most neutral atoms or molecules?

They are always aligned with an external field.

They are always at the surface.

What occurs when a charged object is present near a neutral molecule?

The centers of charge may separate slightly.

The molecule becomes completely neutral.

The centers of charge remain unchanged.

The molecule becomes a conductor.

What is the result of the separation of charge centers in a molecule?

More positive charge appears on one side of the molecule.

The molecule becomes negatively charged.

The molecule becomes positively charged.

What happens when a charged object is placed near an insulator?

It induces charge on the surface of the insulator.

It has no effect on the insulator.

Why does a charged comb attract bits of paper?

Due to polarization of the paper.

Due to the weight of the paper.

What is the sign of the charge closest to the comb when charge polarization occurs?

Opposite to the comb’s charge.

Why do bits of paper experience a net attraction to a charged comb?

Charges of the same sign are slightly more distant.

Charges of the same sign are closer.

According to Coulomb's Law, how does the electrical force between two charges behave with respect to the distance between them?

It is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

It is directly proportional to the distance.

It is inversely proportional to the distance.

It is directly proportional to the square of the distance.

What is the relationship between the electrical force and the magnitudes of the charges according to Coulomb's Law?

It is directly proportional to the magnitudes of the charges.

It is inversely proportional to the magnitudes of the charges.

It is proportional to the square of the magnitudes of the charges.

It is independent of the magnitudes of the charges.

How does Coulomb's Law describe the force between two charges with opposite signs?

The force is independent of the signs.

What happens to the force between two charges with the same sign according to Coulomb's Law?

The force is independent of the signs.
