Which Objects Are Rubbed Together?

Two neutral objects - object A and object B - are rubbed together. During the process, object A becomes charged positively and object B becomes charged negatively.

What is it called when you rub objects together?

Rubbing some materials together can result in something called 'charge' being moved from one surface to the other. Charged objects pull on other uncharged objects and may either push or pull on other charged objects.

What objects attract together?

Positively charged objects and neutral objects attract each other; and negatively charged objects and neutral objects attract each other.
