Abstract

Rubbing two objects together can cause electrons to be transferred from one object to another, producing a negative charge on one and a positive charge on the other. Rubbing plastic with hair, fur, or many types of cloth produces a negative charge on the plastic object. Rubbing a glass rod with silk produces a positive charge on the glass rod. Video examples of similar experiments are included in ChemDemos Videodisc (1) and Chemistry Comes Alive!, Volume 1 (2). A historic example is found in this issue of the Journal (3).
