An ebonite rod rubbed with fur is suspended near another ebonite rod rubbed with fur. State your observation and give a reason to support your answer.

When an ebonite rod rubbed with fur is suspended near another ebonite rod rubbed with fur, they will repel each other. Ebonite rod acquires a negative charge when rubbed with fur as free electrons move from fur to rod. As the charges on both the rods are the same, hence they repel each other.
