Solution
When a glass rod is rubbed with a piece of silk cloth the rod becomes positively charged while the cloth has a negative charge.
Explanation:
When an object is charged by rubbing it against another object, the two objects become oppositely charged. By convention, the charge that the glass rod acquired is positive and the charge that the cloth acquired is negative. Therefore, the rod becomes positively charged, and the cloth becomes negatively charged.
