F

A duster is rubbed on an acetate rod. The rod is left with a charge of +4 units. What is the charge left on the duster?

[1]
A

+4 units, because the charge is shared equally between them

B

−4-4−4 units, because the electrons lost by the rod are on the duster

C

0 units, because a duster is too good an insulator to be charged

D

−8-8−8 units, because rubbing doubles the charge that is transferred
