Question

2 the metal dome of the van de graaff generator becomes positive because the ______ were pulled off using the friction between the belt and the metal teeth connected to the dome. a protons b neutrons c electrons d ions

Explanation:

Protons are in the nucleus and not easily transferred by friction. Neutrons have no charge. Ions are atoms that have gained or lost electrons. In the Van de Graaff generator, electrons are transferred due to friction. When electrons are pulled off (removed), the object (the metal dome here) becomes positively charged as it has more protons (positive charge) relative to electrons (negative charge).

Answer:

C. electrons
