Andy rubs a rubber rod with a piece of animal fur. the total charge of the system before rubbing is zero. the system is made up of the rubber rod and the fur. initially, the charge on the rod is zero and it is electrically neutral. the same is true for the fur. when sandy rubs the rubber rod with the fur, the rubber rod acquires negative charges. how does the system change, overall, based on the law of conservation of charge?

In order to satisfied the law of conservation of charge, If the rubber rod becomes negatively charged, then the fur becomes positively charged.

Explanation:

This law states that charge is neither created nor destroyed, it can only be transferred from one system to another. In this case the rubber rod obtains electrons from the fur, in consequence the rod, which was originally neutral becomes negatively charged (the number of electrons on it increase), and the fur which was originally neutral becomes positively charged (the number of electrons on it decrease).

the electric field is a “force field” around a charged object that illustrates the direction the electric force would push an imaginary
