When a glass rod is rubbed with silk, it

When a glass rod is rubbed with a silk cloth, charges appear on both. A similar phenomenon is observed with many other pairs of bodies. Explain how this observation is consistent with the law of conservation of charge.

Knowledge Check

  • Assertion : When we rub a glass rod with silk, the rod gets positively charged and the silk gets negatively charged. Reason : On rubbing, electrons from silk cloth move to the glass rod.

    A
    If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
    B
    If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
    C
    If assertion is true but reason is false.
    D
    If both assertion and reason are false.
