What happens when an isolated conductor is statically charged?
The charge is evenly spread inside and outside
Will rubbing a silk cloth on glass cause electrons to move to the cloth?
Yes, rubbing a silk cloth on glass cause electrons to move to the cloth. As a result, glass rod acquires positive charge and silk acquires negative charge.
How can you tell when an object has been statically charged?
I you touch it, and it shocks you, then it was statically charged.

What type of electric charge is acquired if a rubber balloon is rubbed with a woolen cloth?
Static charge
Why does a balloon fall off a wall after being statically charged?

If a plastic ruler is rubbed with a cloth does the ruler obtain a positive charge?
Because electrons will be transferred from the cloth to the insulating rod. But the charge will be negative.
Does rubbing a polythene rod with a duster take away positive charge from the cloth?
no
What happened when thale rubbed the amber with silk cloth?
when amber is rubbed with silk cloth +ve charge comes on silk cloth and -ve on amber due to interaction between their molecules, so is that when we comb our hairs , then -ve charge comes on comb and +ve on hairs,so when we bring silk cloth near the comb they attract each other due to 'ving opposite charges
