Question

When a glass rod is rubbed with silk:

  1. Negative charge is produced on silk, but no charge is produced on the glass rod.
  2. Equal but opposite charges are produced on both the materials.
  3. Equal and similar charges are produced on both the materials.
  4. Positive charge is produced on the glass rod  but no charge is produced on the silk.

hintHint:

The charge is a property of matter.

The correct answer is: Equal but opposite charges are produced on both the materials.


    When a glass rod is rubbed with silk: Equal but opposite charges are produced on both the materials.
    • When the glass rod is rubbed with silk, the electrons from the rod strip away from the rod and move to the silk.
    • Hence the rod gets positively charged. 
    • As the electrons are moved to the silk, it became negatively charged and the rod has a positive charge.
    • The equal but opposite charges are produced in both materials.
