Question 27
H

A cloth has no overall charge. It is used to rub two identical rods, one after the other.

After rubbing, each rod has a charge of −3.0 μC-3.0\ \mu\text{C}−3.0 μC.

What is the charge on the cloth, and why?

[1]
A

+6.0 μC+6.0\ \mu\text{C}+6.0 μC, because it lost electrons to the rods

B

+3.0 μC+3.0\ \mu\text{C}+3.0 μC, because it lost electrons to the rods

C

−6.0 μC-6.0\ \mu\text{C}−6.0 μC, because it gained electrons from the rods

D

+6.0 μC+6.0\ \mu\text{C}+6.0 μC, because it gained protons from the rods
