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:5 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…

NCERT Solutions For Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 1 The Solid State
Last modified on:5 years agoReading Time:50MinutesNCERT TEXTBOOK QUESTIONS SOLVED 1.1.Why are solids rigid?Ans: The constituent particles in solids have fixed positions and can oscillate about their mean positions. Hence, they are rigid. 1.2.Why do solids have a definite volume?Ans: The constituent particles of a solid have fixed positions and are not free to move about, i.e., they possess…
