electrons are transferred from glass to rubber
Both are examples of static electricity generation. The big difference is the way the electricity is generated.
when a glass rod is rubbed with silk cloth, some of the electrons are removed from the atoms of the glass rod and deposited on the silk leaving negatively carged and glass positively charged Different materials have different electron affinities, meaning electrons will tend to gravitate towards certain materials over others. When silk is rubbed against a glass rod, the atoms of the rod and the atoms of the silk interact, and the silk atoms pull electrons from the rod's atoms. Thus, the silk winds up negatively charged and the rod becomes positively charged. Source: http://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/estatics/u8l2a.cfm
Nothing would happen
Because electrons are rubbed off the cloth and build up on the polythene.
electrons are transferred from glass to rubber
both get charged but with charges of opposite nature
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.
Yes , if elctron goes from fur to rod, fur is positively charged

the rod slightly attract each other
anything can be rubbed its a matter of the transfer of electrons
The Physicist who said first that the charge on a glass rod rubbed with silk is positive was Michael Faraday.
There is a very big difference between the electrical charge of a balloon rubbed in a person's hair and a glass rod rubbed with silk. The charge from the balloon will just make it stick to objects. The charge from the glass rod will emit a very large electrical shock that might knock a person to the ground. This is because the glass rod is a better conductor of electricity than the balloon.

The acetate rod loses electrons and becomes positively charged.
