Question

lisa makes a diagram to organize her notes about charging objects. which statement should she place in the region marked x? friction conduction x electrons move between objects. the objects do not touch. the objects develop opposite charges. the objects have the same charge.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall charging - by - friction and conduction

Charging by friction and conduction both involve electron transfer.

Step2: Analyze each option

• "Electrons move between objects": This is true for both charging by friction and conduction. In charging by friction, electrons are transferred when two objects rub against each other. In conduction, electrons flow from one object to another when they are in contact.
• "The objects do not touch": This is false for conduction (objects must touch in conduction) and not a general characteristic of the overlapping region.
• "The objects develop opposite charges": This is mainly characteristic of charging by friction. In conduction, if a charged object touches a neutral object, they will end up with the same type of charge (in simple cases).
• "The objects have the same charge": This is not a common feature for the overlapping region as in friction opposite charges can be formed.

Answer:

Electrons move between objects.
