Question

How and why glass or ebonite when rubbed with silk or fur generate electricity or gain or lose negative charge?

Answer 1

$\mathfrak{The\:Answer\:is}$


The ebonite becomes negatively charged, and the fur becomes positively charged. Similarly, if a glass rod isrubbed with a silk cloth, some of the electrons are removed from the atoms of the glass and deposited on the silk, leaving the silk negatively charged and the glass positively charged.
