Why two bodies rubbed against each other acquire equal and opposite charges?
When the bodies are rubbed against each other one body transffers electrons to the other body. Since there are no new electrons produced or destroyed the charge is equal.
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.
When two bodies are rubbed against each other what kind of charges do they acquire.explain with two examples?
equal and opposite depending on the masses
How to charge an object by friction?
An object can be charged by friction when rubbed against another surface such asa) polythene rod rubbed against a woollen cloth.This occurred because the woollen cloth lost some of it negative charges when it was rubbed, the negative charges was then transferred to the polythene rod. Now the polythene rod has been charge by friction.For proof... after it has been charged,place the polythene rod next to some *very small bits of paper and see what happens.
Where does static electricity occur?
when 2 bodies are rubbed together,electrons are transferred this causes static electricity.

Why does a plastic comb rubbed with a duster cause a thin stream of water to bend?
When you rub the comb against the duster it charges up the electrons,the electrons in the comb and the electrons in the water will repel
When the glass rod is rubbed to the silk the electrons are transfered?
both get charged but with charges of opposite nature

Because electrons will be transferred from the cloth to the insulating rod. But the charge will be negative.
When acetate is rubbed against your hair which loses and which gains electrons?
Acetate loses electrons, and the hair gains electrons. So acetate is negatively charged, meaning that the hair is positively charged.

Can glass rod be rubbed with any other material?
anything can be rubbed its a matter of the transfer of electrons

If a paper clip is rubbed in one direction against a strong magnet what does the magnet cause to occur in the paper clip?
Aligns the electrons in the same direction
What is the charge on a piece of rubbed amber?
Friction strips electrons so the rubbed amber would take on a negative charge. Actually, friction causes charges to shift. Charges are indeed stripped from something, but they are collected up by something else. Amber does, indeed, become negatively charged by rubbing it with, say, fur. The phenomon is called triboelectric effect. And a link is provided.
How do materials become charged when rubbed together?
By electrons
