Question

Bring the glass rod near some small pieces of paper. Are the pieces of paper
attracted to the glass rod?​

Answer:

if it is charged only pieces of paper get attracted to the glasse rod

Answer 2

ANSWER:

No, small pieces of paper are not attracted towards the glass rod because glass rod is not charged.

EXPLANATION:

The pieces of paper are neutral by default.  Therefore to attract the pieces of paper the glass rod has to be positively or negatively charged. Once the glass rod is charged it will attract the pieces of paper when it is near the pieces of paper.

To charge the glass rod many processes are followed. But one of the simplest process to charge the glass rod is rubbing it vigorously on the piece of cloth. This makes the glass rod charged by removal or addition of electrons making it positively or negatively charged respectively.
