Q.No.171: - Explain why, a glass rod can be charged by rubbing when held by hand but an iron rod cannot be charged by rubbing, if held by hand?

Ans: - Because iron is a conductor so when we rub it then electrons move within the conductor and did not become static on the other hand glass rod is an insulator and when we rub, it get charge on its surface and act like a charged body.
