- If a glass rod that is rubbed with a plastic dry cleaner's bag acquires a certain charge, why does the plastic bag have exactly the same amount of opposite charge? Why is a good conductor of electricity also a good conductor of heat? Explain how an object that is electrically neutral can be attracted to an object that is charged.
