Gillan is investigating the distribution of charge in objects using friction Gillian gently rubs a rubber balloon on the fur of her pet cat. When she pulls the balloon away from the car's fur, the fur is attracted to the balloon Which BEST explains why the fur becomes attracted to the balloon?
A. Rubbing the balloon along the cat transfers extra protons from the balloon to the cat
OB. Rubbing the balloon along the cat transfers extra electrons from the cat to the balloon
OC. Rubbing the balloon along the cat creates extra protons that will stick to both the balloon and cat
OD Rubbing the balloon along the cat creates extra electrons that will stick to both the balloon and cat
B. Rubbing the balloon along the cat transfers extra electrons from the cat to the balloon
When Gillian rubs the balloon on the cat's fur, electrons are transferred from the cat's fur to the surface of the balloon. This leaves the cat's fur with a net positive charge, and the balloon with a net negative charge. The opposite charges attract each other, causing the fur to be attracted to the balloon.
