Question

List of things gets charged by rubbing with one another

Answer 1

1. When a piece of amber, plastic, polythene, or hard rubber is rubbed with fur, electrons are transferred from fur to the other material. Fur acquires net positive charge, since it has fewer electrons than protons. Similarly, the amber, plastic, or hard rubber acquires a net negative charge since they have excess electrons.

2. Combing hair charges the comb in the same way.

3. Rubbing glass (perspex) with silk causes the glass to acquire a net positive charge.
