plz thanks my answer

Answer 2

1. Static electricity is the result of an imbalance between negative and positive charges in an object. These charges can build up on the surface of an object until they find a way to be released or discharged. ... The rubbing of certain materials against one another can transfer negative charges, or electrons
2. Conservation of Charge is the principle that the total electric charge in a body never changes. The net quantity of electric charge, the amount of positive charge minus the amount of negative charge in the universe, is always conserved.
3. Since the final configuration will be of equilibrium, you cannot have any field inside the conductor (otherwise, charges will start moving) and the charges MUST be at the surface of the conductor (or they will produce an inside field).
4. In order for the neutral sphere to become negative, it must gain electrons from the negatively charged rod. 3. A neutral metal sphere is touched by a positively charged metal rod. ... In this case, electrons are transferred from the neutral object to the positively charged rod and the sphere becomes charged positively.
