Question:

A glass rod, rubbed with silk gets positively charged, why?

Options:

due to excess of positrons

due to excess of electrons

due to deficiency of electrons

due to deficiency of protons

Correct Answer:

due to deficiency of electrons

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → due to deficiency of electrons

This happens because glass has a weaker hold on its electrons as compared to silk. As a result, the glass rod looses electrons, leading to a net positive charge.
