Answer:
When a glass rod is rubbed with silk, glass rod loses electrons and silk gains electrons. Glass rod becomes positively charged and silk becomes negatively charged. When a glass rod is rubbed with a silk cloth, then both, the glass rod as well as the silk cloth get charged. The charged glass rod can attract tiny pieces of paper and the charged silk cloth can also attract tiny pieces of paper.
