Question

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

Explanation:

• Friction involves rubbing materials together, which causes electrons to be transferred from one material to another.
• Induction is the process where a charged object causes a separation of charges in a nearby object without direct contact.
• Conduction occurs when there is a direct contact between two objects, and electrons flow from one object to the other.

Answer:

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