Question

According to the triboelectric series mentioned, if glass is rubbed with wool, what will be the resulting charges on each material?
Options
A Both glass and wool will become positively charged.
B Glass will become negatively charged, and wool will become positively charged.
C Glass will become positively charged, and wool will become negatively charged.
Correct Answer
D Both glass and wool will remain neutral.
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The text explicitly states: 'It follows that if you rub glass with wool, glass will lose electrons to wool. Glass becomes positively charged and wool becomes negatively charged.' This is because glass is higher on the series than wool, meaning glass loses electrons more easily.

Hint

Refer to the provided triboelectric series and the explanation for glass and wool.
