Respuesta :

Given that a neutral cloth and a neutral rod are rubbed together and electrons are transferred from the cloth to the rod.

Let's find the final charge on the overall cloth-rod system.

Here, since a neutral cloth and a neural rod are rubbed together, there is a transfer of charges between both materials.

The metal rod is a conductor while the cloth is an insulator.

As both materials are rubbed together, there is a transfer of electrons. This is due to friction on the materials.

Now, we know that electrons are negatively charged.

As electrons transfer, the rod becomes positively charged while the cloth becomes negatively charged.

Since both materials have opposite charges, the final charge on the overall cloth-rod system will be a NEUTRAL charge.

When a system is neutral, it means that the system has an equal amount of positive and negative cha
