Charging by friction gives rise to equal and opposite charges in two formerly neutral bodies. Explain why?

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Neutral Bodies**: Initially, both bodies are neutral, meaning they have an equal number of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged). 2. **Charging by Friction**: When two neutral bodies are rubbed against each other, they experience friction. This friction causes electrons to be transferred from one body to the other. 3. **Transfer of Electrons**: During the rubbing process, one body loses electrons while the other body gains those electrons. The body that loses electrons becomes positively charged because it has fewer electrons than protons. ...
