When a glass rod is rubbed with silk cloth charges appear on both a similar phenomena is observed with many other pairs of bodies explain how this observation is consistent with the law of conservation of charge ?

When a glass rod is rubbed with a silk cloth , charges appear on both. These charges are equal in magnitude and opposite in sign so that algebraic sum of charges produced on both zero. The net charge on the two bodies was zero even before having them. Thus we find that charges can be created only in equal and unlike pairs . This is consistent with the law of conservation of mass.
- According to law of conservation of charge , charge can neither be created nor be destroyed.
- A body acquires positive charge when it loses electrons and negative charge when it gains electron
- Charges are of two types :-
- Positive Charge
- Negative Charge

This phenomenon is in consistence with the law of conservation of charge.The net charge on the system of two rubbed bodies is zero. When a glass rod is rubbed with a silk cloth, opposite charges appear on both, because electrons are transferred from glass to silk. So in this process energy neither be created nor destroyed.
