A positively charged ball A attracts another ball B. Is it necessary that ball B is negatively charged ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No. Ball B can be neutral. Due to induction, its portion nearer to ball A can acquire negative charge and hence gets attracted towards ball A.

Frictional electricity The electricity developed in bodies when they are rubbed with each other is called frictional electricity. There are two kinds of charges, namely positive and negative. Like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other. when a glass rod is rubbed with silk cloth, glass rod becomes positively charged are silk acquires the same amount of negative charge. the concept of positive and negatice charges was introduced by Benjamin Franklin. The charge is always quantised and conserved in a system. A body can be negatively charged by
