Lightweight pith balls help to show electrostatic attraction and repulsion.A pith ball picks up electric charge.
The 'charge' in the pith ball is actually caused by too many or too little electrons. When you touch the ball, these billions of electrons would rather move to your nice, moist skin, than stay in the dry pith ball, because your skin is a better conductor than pith is.
The ball in a pith ball elecroscope is small because the ball must be able to move with little forces. If the ball had a large mass it would be difficult for a small force of attraction to occur.

A glass rod is -vely charge and repel a body of -ve charge .so if a pith ball is repelled ,the charge on it must be -ve.

the pith ball takes on a negative charge also, the charge transfers to the pith ball from the strip

Assuming the pith ball is uncharged, and the rod isn't touching it: The electron particles on the fur will have come off on the rod, giving it a negative charge. As a result, the pith ball will be attracted to the rod because all uncharged matter is attracted to charge matter.
A person will not know which of the following illustrations of electrically charged pith ball shows the correct position of the pith balls without seeing the illustrations. It is important to include the illustrations as well.
I dont know :P
It is made from the pith of the papyrus plant.
