we will go through activity 15.2 class 8 science chapter 15 Some Natural phenomena.   You should also go through activity 15.1 of chapter 15. In this activity 15.2, we will learn about the electrostatic force between rubbed objects and different materials.

 Activity

·    Collect the objects and the materials listed in the Table given below.

·    Try to charge each by rubbing with the materials mentioned in the Table.

·    Record your findings.

·    You can add more items to the Table

Observation and explanation

When we rub the given objects with materials given in the table, these objects get charged with electrostatic force and attract the pieces of paper.
