If two neutral objects are rubbed together what will the resulting charges on the objects be?

Answer 1

-- Relatively 'loose' electrons are scraped off of one object and collected on the

other one.

-- In terms of the charge 'budget', the action leaves one object positively charged ...

having less electrons than it should have ... and the other object negatively charged ...

having more electrons than it should have.

-- Now you have two oppositely charged objects.

-- There's a physical force between them,

-- there's a potential difference (voltage) between them, and

-- there's an electrostatic field between them.

-- If either of them gets near enough to a 'neutral' object, it's going to balance its

charge budget, either by sucking electrons from the neutral object in order to fill

the deficit, or by dumping electrons onto the neutral object in order to relieve its

surplus.

Because before you know it, they need a registry, a honeymoon, an apartment,

and nursery furniture. That first rub puts them on the slippery slope.

Answer 2

When two objects are rubbed together, electrons are transferred from one of them to another. The one gaining electrons becomes negatively charged and the one losing electrons becomes positively charged. The charges on each object are equal in magnitude. This is called charging by friction.

Answer 3

One will be more positive than the other because they are different objects. Electrons will discharge from one object and onto another object's shell.
