What kind of electric charge gets developed on the glass rod when it is rubbed with a piece of silk cloth?

When glass rod is rubbed with silk cloth it becomes positively charged and the silk cloth becomes negatively charged. This is because the glass rod looses electrons to the silk cloth which makes it positive and the silk cloth becomes negative.

What type of electric charge is acquired if a rubber balloon is rubbed with a woolen cloth?
Static charge
Can an insulator be charged?
Insulating materials can acquire a static electric charge. Rubber balloons, when rubbed on woolen cloth, are a perfect example.
What kind of charge is produced in silk cloth when it is rubbed against a glass rod?
Positive charge
Explain clearly what happened when Thales rubbed the amber with the silk cloth?
it created an electrical charge
If a plastic ruler is rubbed with a cloth does the ruler obtain a positive charge?
Because electrons will be transferred from the cloth to the insulating rod. But the charge will be negative.
What happened when thale rubbed the amber with silk cloth?
when amber is rubbed with silk cloth +ve charge comes on silk cloth and -ve on amber due to interaction between their molecules, so is that when we comb our hairs , then -ve charge comes on comb and +ve on hairs,so when we bring silk cloth near the comb they attract each other due to 'ving opposite charges
How are there two kinds of electric charges?
Electric charge is the fundamental property of particles which gives rise to electric force between them. It is found that when woollen cloth is rubbed against rubber shoes, both woollen and rubber shoes acquire charge and both objects attract each other. Same thing happens when fur is rubbed against ebonite rod. But when charged woollen cloth is brought near the charged fur they repel each other. This repulsion and attraction between the charged objects made Benjamin Franklin to think that there are two types of charges. He arbitrarily called them 'Positive' and 'Negative'.
When a balloon is rubbed with a wool cloth it becomes negatively charged why?
When a balloon is rubbed with a wool cloth, the electrons from the atoms of the wool cloth enter the atoms of the balloon and thus, the number of electrons in the atoms of balloon becomes more than the number of protons. Hence, there is a net negative charge in the balloon, whereas in the wool cloth the number of electrons in its atoms become less than the number of protons, hence there is a net positive charge on the wool cloth.
What will happen if a glass ruler is rubbed vigorously on a woolen cloth?
A plastic ruler is rubbed vigorously with a woolen cloth
What happened when Thales rubbed the amber and the silk cloth?
Thales of Miletus, a Greek philosopher, discovered that rubbing amber with silk created an electric charge in the amber which caused objects to be attracted to it. If rubbed enough, it created a spark, much like we receive when we walk on carpet and touch a doorknob and see, hear and feel the spark.

What will happen if a polythene rod rubbed with dry woolen cloth brought near another polythene rod also rubbed with a dry woolen cloth?
Both rods acquired charge of the same polarity during the rubbing process, so there will be a force of repulsion between them.
