Why are there only two types of electric charges?

There are two types of charges because we can establish charges only by loss or gain of electrons present in the orbits of an atom. 

By losing electrons  a body gets positively charged and by gaining electrons it gets negatively charged. 

Electron is the fundamental charge. It's taken as negatively charged. 

Why do you need moisturising cream in winter season?

 Q. Why do you need moisturising cream in winter season?

Answer: As the humidity is low in winter season where there is no winter rainfall, skin loses water due to evaporation and has tendency to dry quickly. To prevent this we need moisturising cream.

TRIBO-ELECTRIC SERIES

 TRIBO-ELECTRIC SERIES 

The series in which the substances are arranged according to their tendency to lose or gain electrons on rubbing each other. The higher the position of the substance, it has the tendency to lose electrons and to gain positive charge on rubbing.

The series of common substances  follows,

Air

Human hair

Rabbit's fur

Glass

Hair

Silk

Paper

Cotton

Steel

Wood

Amber

Rubber balloon

Plastic wrap

Ebonite

Example:

When glass rod is rubbed with silk, the rod loses electrons and get positively charged whereas silk gains electrons from the rod and gets negatively charged. Please check the position of glass in relation with silk. Glass is placed above silk.
