Question

What is the nature of electrical charges generated by rubbing two objects?

  1. Static
  2. Mobile
  3. Positive
  4. Negative

hintHint:

Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material or between materials.

The correct answer is: Static


    The nature of electrical charges generated by rubbing two objects is static.
    Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material or between materials.

    Static electricity is generated by friction between two insulating materials. When the materials are rubbed together, electrons are removed from atoms within the materials, giving rise to a static electric charge.
