Examine the scenario.

A positively charged conductor is brought in contact with a negative conductor.

Which choice most accurately describes the motion of charge between these two objects?

The protons in the positive object are attracted to the negatively charged object. Some of the protons move from the positive object to the negative object.

The protons in the negative object are attracted to the positively charged object. Some of the protons move from the negative object to the positive object.

The electrons in the negative object are attracted to the positively charged object. Some of the electrons move from the negative object to the positive object.

The electrons in the positive object are attracted to the negatively charged object. Some of the electrons move from the positive object to the negative object.

The electrons in the positive object are attracted to the negatively charged object. Some of the electrons move from the positive object to the negative object.

an example of this is lightning because the positive electrons on/in the earth are attracted to the negative electrons in the clouds and sky so the positive move to the negative charge.
