Question

How was the electrical nature of matter indi­cated?

Answer 1

Electrical nature of matter:

1. Take a plastic comb.
2. Comb dry hair with the plastic comb.
3. Place the comb near small pieces of paper.
4. It is observed that the pieces of paper stick to the comb.
5. This is because the comb gets electrically charged and attracts the pieces of paper.

This activity indicates that comb (matter) gets electrically charged and exerts attractive forces on the paper pieces.

Thus, mater has electrical nature.
