Show solution

Electric insulators can be charged by rubbing against other insulators.

While rubbing, we tear off some surface electrons on one insulator that pass to the other. Thus, one body is charged positively and the other negatively.

The charge accumulates on the surface of the insulator, where electrons are torn off or added.
