Question
Sally puts on wool socks
and rubs her feet on a nylon
carpet. How does static
electricity build up in Sally?
(1 point)
The friction causes
electrons from the
wool socks to move
to Sally, giving Sally
a negative charge.
When electrons from
the wool socks move
into the carpet, Sally
and her socks gain a
negative charge.
Electrons from the
carpet move into the
wool socks, giving
Sally and her socks
a positive charge.
Electrons from the
wool socks move
into the carpet,
giving Sally and her
socks a positive
charge.

The correct explanation for how static electricity builds up in Sally is:
**Electrons from the wool socks move into the carpet, giving Sally and her socks a positive charge.**
When Sally rubs her feet on the nylon carpet with wool socks, the friction causes electrons to transfer from the wool socks to the carpet. This leaves Sally (and her socks) with a deficit of electrons, resulting in a positive charge.
**Electrons from the wool socks move into the carpet, giving Sally and her socks a positive charge.**
