Solution
When we take off our sweaters in winter, we hear a crackling sound. This is because removing our sweater acquires charge due to friction between the sweater and our body. As a result, we hear a crackling sound from the sweater.

Whenever the surfaces in contact tend to move or move with respect to each other, the force of friction comes into play
Assertion: Friction always opposes the motion.
Reason: Whenever one surface moves or tries to move over another surface, the force of friction starts acting on the surfaces.
Assertion: There is a danger of a vehicle skidding on a wet road.
Reason: The tires of the vehicle lose their grip on the road due to an increase in friction due to the presence of water on the road.
