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.

Conceptual Questions Based On Electronics Devices
Last modified on:5 years agoReading Time:21MinutesQ.1. The resistance of the pn junction is low when forward biased and is high when it is reverse biased. Explain.Answer: The resistance of pn junction is low when it is forward biased because force acts on charge carriers to move them across the junction whereas the force in reverse biasing…

Electric Dipole Questions For NEET
Last modified on:5 years agoReading Time:1MinutePractice these problems based on electric dipole and electric dipole moment to strengthen your concepts. An electric dipole consists of two equal and opposite charges separated by a distance d. The electric dipole moment for a pair of opposite charges of magnitude q is defined as the magnitude of the charge times the…
