Solution

CAUSE OF CHARGING OF TWO OBJECTS WHEN RUBBED:

  • Both objects before rubbing are neutral.
  • On Rubbing transfer of electrons from one object to other object takes place.
  • The body from which electrons are transferred gets deficient in electrons and becomes positively charged.
  • The body to which electrons are transferred has excess electrons and becomes negatively charged.
