Question

When an object is rubbed by another, the objects get charged - one as positive and another as negative. In electrostatic series:

• A. the one being positively charged comes first.
• B. the one being negatively charged comes first.
• C. both the objects come together.
• D. objects appear as per their atomic numbers.

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

the one being positively charged comes first.

When two bodies are rubbed for charging, the one acquiring positive charge comes first on a higher position, in electrostatic series.

The series helps us to identify that if two objects are rubbed with each other, the one coming higher in the series will acquire positive charge and the other coming lower in the series will acquire negative charge.
