Question

describing ways to transfer electric charge
match each method of transferring electric charge with the correct description.
conduction
induction
friction
transfer of electric charge by direct contact
transfer of electric charge without direct contact
transfer of electric charge by rubbing

Explanation:

Each charge transfer method has a defining characteristic:

1. Conduction requires direct physical contact between objects to transfer charge.
2. Induction moves charge between objects without them touching, using electric field effects.
3. Friction transfers charge when two objects are rubbed against one another.

Answer:

• conduction → transfer of electric charge by direct contact
• induction → transfer of electric charge without direct contact
• friction → transfer of electric charge by rubbing
