An insulator is a material through which an electric charge is not readily transferred. Most insulators are nonmetals, which would rather gain electrons than lose, as metals do. If a charged object is held close to a neutral object, the neutral object acquires a temporary opposite charge.
Q. When two objects are rubbed together electrons can be transferred from one to the other?
Rubbing two metals together still doesn’t create high-voltage charging; not like rubbing silk against nylon. But if one metal object already happens to be highly charged, then electrons do transfer, whenever that metal object is touched against another metal. This is called charging by conduction.

Q. How are electrons transferred by rubbing?
The rubbing of certain materials against one another can transfer negative charges, or electrons. For example, if you rub your shoe on the carpet, your body collects extra electrons. The electrons cling to your body until they can be released.
Q. What can happen to the electrons in objects when they are rubbed?
The object that gains electrons becomes negatively charged, while the object that loses electrons becomes positively charged. Rubbed together in a dry environment, some items have lost electrons and become positively charged, while others have gained electrons and become negatively charged.
Q. When two objects are rubbed together electricity is produced this electricity is called?
The electricity developed on the objects when they are rubbed with each other is called Frictional electricity. On rubbing two objects, both materials get electrified due to friction produced while rubbing them. One of the body acquires negative charge and other acquires positive charge.
Q. How an object does acquire positive charge?
Answer. Explanation: During charging by conduction, both objects acquire the same type of charge. In this case, electrons are transferred from the neutral object to the positively charged rod and the sphere becomes charged positively.
Q. What is the difference between positive and negative charges?
There are two types of electric charge: positive and negative (commonly carried by protons and electrons respectively). Like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other. In ordinary matter, negative charge is carried by electrons, and positive charge is carried by the protons in the nuclei of atoms.
Q. Who is negative charge?
A negative charge is an electrical property of a particle at the subatomic scale. An object is negatively charged if it has an excess of electrons, and is uncharged or positively charged otherwise.
Q. What is negative charge called?
anion
Q. What has a negative one charge?
Electrons have a negative charge. The charge on the proton and electron are exactly the same size but opposite. Neutrons have no charge. Since opposite charges attract, protons and electrons attract each other.
