Question

In an experiment there is an attraction of a charged object to the wall. Depicts the microscopic level mechanism for this observation. Identify the correct statements that apply when the object is positively charged.

Before the object touches the wall, there is a transfer of electrons from the object
to the wall.
O Before the object touches the wall, there is a transfer of electrons from the wall to
the object.
On contact with the object, the wall takes electrons from the object.
O On contact with the object, the wall gives electrons to the object.
A region of the wall, near the object, acquires a net negative charge.
O A region of the wall, near the object, acquires a net positive charge.
Electrons from the wall are recruited to the region closest to the object.
Electrons from the wall are pushed and moved away from the region closest to the
object.
O Protons from the wall are recruited to the region closest to the object.
Protons from the wall are pushed and moved away from the region closest to the
object.
