A glass rod rubber with silk cloth acquires a charge of +1.6 X 10-12C. What is the charge on the silk cloth?

A glass rod rubbed with silk cloth acquires a charge of +1.6 X 10^-12C. What is the charge on the silk cloth?

One Line Answer

The silk cloth will acquire the charge opposite to the charge of the glass rod. So the charge acquired by silk cloth will be = -1.6 x 10 ^-19C.
