Question

A glass rod is rubbed with silk and a steel rod is rubbed with hair. Both rods are then
3)
brought close to each other without touching. Which rod will be more negative and
why?

Expert Solution

Step 1

When a glass rod is rubbed with silk, some of the electrons are removed from the glass rod and it gets positively charged. However, a metallic substance like steel cannot be charged by rubbing. The redistribution of electrons takes place in the metal lattice and makes it electrically neutral when we try charging by friction.
