a. electrons are removed from the rod
b. protons are removed from the silk
c. protons are added to the silk
d. the silk remains neutral
A
Charge is most easily transferred in
a. nonconductors
b. conductors
c. semiconductors
d. insulators
B
correct
To check your answers, let's go through the explanations for each question.
Question 1: When a glass rod is rubbed with silk and becomes positively charged, what happens?
To answer this, we need to understand the process of charging by friction. When a glass rod is rubbed with silk, electrons are transferred from the glass rod to the silk. As a result, the glass rod becomes positively charged because it loses electrons. Therefore, the correct answer is option A: electrons are removed from the rod.
Question 2: Charge is most easily transferred in which type of material?
To answer this, we need to understand the concept of conductivity. Conductivity refers to how easily electric charge can flow through a material. Conductors are materials that allow the flow of electric charge easily, while insulators are materials that do not allow the flow of electric charge. Based on this, the correct answer is option B: conductors.
So, according to the explanations provided, the correct answers are:
Question 1: Option A (electrons are removed from the rod).
Question 2: Option B (conductors).
