ExplanationWhen we rub fur with an ebonite rod, the chemical bond is formed between some parts of the two surfaces. Rod has its electron more tightly bound than fur. So, fur donates electrons to the rod while electrons from the rod won't come out. Due to an excess of electrons in the rod, it becomes negatively charged while the fur with lost electrons becomes deficient of electrons. Thus, the fur becomes positively charged.
What is the charge when ebonite rod is rubbed on animal fur?
When ebonite rod is rubbed with fur negative charge develops on fur?
What happens when a negatively charged ebonite Rod?
When an ebonite rod is rubbed with wool the rod becomes negatively charged?

What I think is : The protons are present at the centre of the atom with rotating electrons around it so when it is rubbed by fur the electrons get passed from the ebonite rod to the fur leaving the rod negatively charged. But in reality the rod is negatively charged Why ?

When an ebonite rod is rubbed with fur the rod gets negatively charged because the friction between the fur and the rod makes the ebonite rod to gain electron from the fur. This is because, electrons in fur are less tightly bound than the electrons in the ebonite rod .

the rod is neutral so it gains electrons from the fur to become negatively charged thus making the fur positively charged. loss of electron =+ve gain of electron= -ve

What is the charge when ebonite rod is rubbed on animal fur?

The charge on ebonite rod is negative and the charge on fur is positive.

When ebonite rod is rubbed with fur negative charge develops on fur?

Solution: When an ebonite rod is rubbed with fur, fur loses electrons and ebonite rod gains electrons. fur becomes positively charged and rod becomes negatively charged.

What happens when a negatively charged ebonite Rod?

If a negatively charged ebonite rod is touched with the disc of a negatively charged gold leaf electroscope divergence of leaves will increase because the similar charge will increase.

When an ebonite rod is rubbed with wool the rod becomes negatively charged?

When ebonite rod is rubbed with wool, ebonite rod acquires a negative charge while wool acquires a positive charge. Hence, they acquire equal and opposite charges.
