When a glass rod is rubbed with a slik cloth ,a charges +q appears on glass rod an equal but opposite charges -q appears on the slik cloth on account of transfer of electrons from glass rod to slik cloth. Thus , net charges on the combined system `[q+(-q)=0] ` remains unchanged at zero , which is consistent with the law of conservation of charges.
