Question

A glass rod acquires a positive charge on rubbing a silk cloth.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. On rubbing the silk cloth with a glass rod, electrons are transferred from the glass rod to the silk cloth.
2. This causes the loss of electrons on the glass rod and hence positive charge develops on it.
3. Equal and negative charge develops on the silk cloth also.

Hence, the given statement is true.
