Electrons are created on the object being charged.

Electrons are transferred from the charged object to the neutral object.

Electrons are transferred from the neutral object to the charged object.

There is no movement of electrons.

The negatively charged rod touches the sphere, transferring electrons to it, resulting in a net positive charge.

The negatively charged rod repels electrons in the sphere, creating a positive charge on the side near the rod. The sphere is then grounded, allowing electrons to flow out, leaving a net positive charge.

The negatively charged rod attracts electrons in the sphere, creating a negative charge on the side near the rod. The sphere is then grounded, allowing electrons to flow in, leaving a net positive charge.

The negatively charged rod has no effect on the neutral sphere, so the sphere remains neutral.

The electric force becomes repulsive.

The electric force becomes attractive.

The electric force remains zero.

The electric force increases and then decreases.

It gains more positive charge.

It becomes negatively charged.

It becomes neutral.

It remains positively charged.

Each sphere has a charge of +Q, and the electric force becomes repulsive.

Each sphere has a charge of +Q, and the electric force becomes attractive.

Each sphere has a charge of +2Q, and the electric force becomes repulsive.

Each sphere has a charge of -2Q, and the electric force becomes attractive.
