Insulators can be charged by which of the following process?
- A Induction
- B Diverging
- C Friction
- D Heating
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Friction
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Charging by friction involves the transfer of electrons between two neutral insulating materials when they are rubbed against each other. This process results in one material gaining electrons and becoming negatively charged, while the other loses electrons and becomes…
