★ The frictional charging process results in a transfer of electrons between the twoobjects that are rubbed together. Rubber has a much greater attraction for electrons than animal fur. As a result, the atoms of rubber pull electrons from the atoms of animal fur, leaving bothobjects with an imbalance of charge.

When you rub two different insulating materials against each other they become electrically charged. This only works for insulated objects - conductors direct the charge flow to earth. When the materials are rubbed against each other: Negatively charged particles called electrons move from one material to the other.
