Electrical quantities — practice question

A plastic rod and a dry cloth are both initially uncharged. The rod is then rubbed with the cloth, and both objects become charged. The rod ends up negatively charged because some charged particles transfer from the cloth to the rod. What charge does the cloth acquire, and which particles are transferred during the charging process?

  • Acharge on cloth: negative, particles that moved: electrons
  • Bcharge on cloth: negative, particles that moved: neutrons
  • Ccharge on cloth: positive, particles that moved: electrons
  • Dcharge on cloth: positive, particles that moved: neutrons
