When a rubber sheet is rubbed with woolen carpet, the carpet is found

1.	When a rubber sheet is rubbed with woolen carpet, the carpet is found to acquire a positive charge of 8 × 10-7 C 1. In the above process charging is byconductionfrictioninductionpolarization2. Among Rubber shoe and woolen carpet which one acquire both mass and charge during rubbing? Explain.
Answer» 1. In the above process charging is by: Friction 2. Carpet is found to be positive body which means that electrons are lost from carpet to rubber shoe. Hence rubber shoe acquires charge and mass.
