As a consequence of rubbing the rod with the fur,
1. the rod and fur both gain mass
2. the rod and fur both lose mass
3. the rod gains mass and the fur loses mass
4. the rod loses mass and the fur gains mass
5. none of the above

Q21.2
A positively-charged piece of plastic exerts an attractive force
on an electrically neutral piece of paper. This is because
1. electrons are less massive than atomic nuclei
2. the electric force between charged particles
decreases with increasing distance
3. an atomic nucleus occupies only a small part
of the volume of an atom
4. a typical atom has many electrons but only
one nucleus
