Question

Which describes what happens when a balloon is rubbed with a wool cloth?

A. Everyday objects do not have electric charges, so neither the balloon nor the cloth can gain or lose electrons.

B. Electrons move from the atoms in the cloth to the atoms in the balloon, causing the balloon to have a negative charge.

C. Electrons move from the atoms in the balloon to the atoms in the cloth, causing the cloth to have a negative charge.

D. Electrons are shared equally between the atoms of the balloon and the atoms of the cloth, making both electrically neutral.

Explanation / Answer

Before the two objects were rubbed together, the charges on each subject are balanced. After that, you rubbed those two things, the wool will be left with positive charge while the balloon will be left with negative charge. Now, since the the wool is left positive charge this means that the electrons from that object moves to the balloon. So which choice do you think is the right one?

B
