A sock becomes charged in the clothes dryer and sticks to a pair of pants. Why doesn't the sock fall to the floor under the force of gravity?
A. The force of gravity pulling the sock to Earth is opposed by the
force of gravity between the sock and pants.
B. Earth's gravitational field around the pants and sock is disrupted
by the electrical field acting between the net charges.
C. The separation between the center of Earth's mass and the sock is
much greater than the separation between the sock and the pants.
D. The gravitational force between the sock and Earth is smaller than
the electrical force between the sock and the pants.
