Question

The experimental evidence of electrical nature of matter was show by _____________

Answer 1

The evidence of electrical nature of matter was first given by Michael Faraday.

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.
6. This activity indicates that comb (matter) gets electrically charged and exerts attractive forces on the paper pieces.
7. Thus, mater has electrical nature.

Thus, the experimental evidence of electrical nature of matter was show by Michael Faraday.
