If a neutral metal object has been charged by friction to a charge of one pC,what has happened to it electrically? A) 6.25 $\times$ 10⁶ electrons have been added to it B) 6.25 $\times$ 10⁶ protons have been added to it C) 6.25 $\times$ 10⁶ electrons have been removed from it D) 6.25 $\times$ 10⁶ protons have been removed from it E) 6.25 $\times$ 10⁶ electrons and protons have been added to it

When a neutral object is charged by friction, electrons are transferred between the two objects involved in the friction. In this case, the charged object gained an excess of electrons and became negatively charged. Therefore, 6.25 × 10^10 electrons have been removed from it.
