About this document
Charging by Friction Explained by lostgirl is a document available to read on EtoBox.
During a physics lab, a plastic strip was rubbed with cotton. This caused electrons to transfer from the cotton to the plastic strip. As a result, the plastic strip became negatively charged, as it gained electrons, while the cotton became positively charged, as it lost electrons. Charge is always conserved during charging processes, with one object gaining the electrons lost by the other object.
