Charging of Insulators
Since charge cannot flow through insulators, neither conduction nor induction can be used to charge, insulators, so in order to charge an insulator friction is used. Whenever an insulator is rubbed against a body exchange of electrons takes place between the two. This results in appearance of equal and opposite charges on the insulator and the other body. Thus the insulator is charged.
For example rubbing of plastic with fur, silk with glass causes charging of these things.

Conductors and Insulators
Last modified on:4 years agoReading Time:2MinutesConductors and Insulators Solids are mainly classified into two groups, conductors and insulators. In conductors, electric charges are free to move from one place to another, whereas in insulators they are tightly bound to their respective atoms. In an uncharged body, there are equal number of positive and negative charges. The…

Extra Questions for Class 10 Science Chapter 4 Carbon and Its Compounds
Last modified on:4 years agoReading Time:4MinutesExtra Questions for Class 10 Science Chapter 4 Carbon and Its Compounds Q1. Why does carbon forms large number of compounds? Show Answer Answer: Carbon forms large number of compounds because of tetravalency and catenation property. Tetravalency – Carbon has valency 4, to attain noble gas configuration carbon share its valence…
