$A$ glass rod is charged to $+5.0 \mathrm{nC}$ by rubbing. a. Have electrons been removed from the rod or protons added? Explain. b. How many electrons have been removed or protons added?
A glass object receives a positive charge of +3.2 nC by rubbing it with a silk cloth. In the rubbing process, have protons been added to the objject or have electrons been removed from it? How many particles (protons or electrons) have been added or removed?
