|
|
the positive charges move to the conductor and exit the object.
|
|
|
the negative charges move to the conductor and exit the object.
|
|
|
both the positive and negative charges move to the conductor and exit the object.
|
|
|
neither the positive nor the negative charges move to the conductor and exit the object.

Detailed explanation-1: -When a charged object touches a conductor (like a door knob): b. the negative charges move to the conductor and exit the object. According to the law of electrostatic forces, like charges attract each other and unlike charges repel one another.
Detailed explanation-2: -Electrons move more easily through certain materials like metal, which scientists call conductors. When you touch a doorknob (or something else made of metal), which has a positive charge with few electrons, the extra electrons want to jump from you to the knob.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hence the conductor is negatively/positively charged depending on case’.
Detailed explanation-4: -During charging by conduction, both objects acquire the same type of charge. If a negative object is used to charge a neutral object, then both objects become charged negatively.
Detailed explanation-5: -An electrical charge is created when electrons are transferred to or removed from an object. Because electrons have a negative charge, when they are added to an object, it becomes negatively charged. When electrons are removed from an object, it becomes positively charged.
