1. (a) Name the charges produced on each of substances (i) when ebonite rod is
rubbed with cat’s skin (ii) glass rod is rubbed with silk.
(b) What is your observation when a charged ebonite rod is brought near (i)
freely suspended and charged glass rod (ii) freely suspended and charged
ebonite rod ?
(c)Fill in the blank spaces:
(i) ____________ charges repel each other.
(ii) Opposite charges ____________ each other.
(iii) A charged ebonite rod ____________ tiny bits of paper.
Ans. (a) (i) Negative charge is produced on ebonite rod.
Positive charge is produced on cat’s skin.
(ii) Positive charge is produced on glass rod.
Negative charge is produced on silk.
(b) (i) The freely suspended and charged glass rod is attracted towards
ebonite rod.
(ii) The freely suspended and charged ebonite rod is repelled by the
charged ebonite rod.
(c) (i) Like charges repel each other.
(ii) Opposite charges attract each other.

7. Name two ways of charging an insulated conductor. State in which of the two
ways, stated by you charge is shared?
Ans. Two ways of charging insulated conductor are :
(i) Conduction (ii) Induction.
The charges are shared during conduction.
(iii) If the negatively charged rod is taken away, state your observation.
Ans. (i) Positive charges appear at A.
The presence of negatively charged rod, repels the electrons from end A
towards end B. As end A develops deficiency of electrons, therefore, it
gets positively charged.
(ii) (a) No charges are present at B as the electrons drift to C.
(b) Negative charges are present at C, D and P because the electrons from
A drift to these points.
(iii) The gold leaves of G.L.E collapse.
Ans.
