Metals electric charge

Question

When a metal plate is given a positive charge, which of the following is taking place?

a) Protons (positive charges) are transferred to the plate from another object.

b) Electrons (negative charges) are transferred from the plate to another object.

c) Electrons (negative charges) ere transferred from the plate to another object, and protons (positive charges) are also transferred to the plate from another object.

d) It depends on whether the object conveying the charge is conductor or an insulator.

Answer 1

Charge is typically caused by movement of electrons---simply because they are the particle that are easiest to move.

A positive charge (on anything) means that some electrons have been transferred to another object.
