Silk Cloth
Because of the texture, if you rubbed together two pieces of silk that would cause more static electricity than two pieces of fleece.
Both are examples of static electricity generation. The big difference is the way the electricity is generated.
it flies up to the glass
Positive charge
Amber
the silk will rub of the electrons on the silk, leaving the glass positively charged
Silk Cloth
The Physicist who said first that the charge on a glass rod rubbed with silk is positive was Michael Faraday.
The silk picked up positive charges.
When glass rod is rubbed with silk cloth it becomes positively charged and the silk cloth becomes negatively charged. This is because the glass rod looses electrons to the silk cloth which makes it positive and the silk cloth becomes negative.
