A silk cloth gains electrons when rubbed over a glass rod. A different glass rod gains electrons when rubbed with rabbit fur. What will happen if the two charged glass rods approach one another and why?

• The rods will repel each other because they have unlike charges.

• There will be no reaction between the rods.

• The rods will attract each other because they are both positively charged.

• The rods will attract each other because they have unlike charges.

• The rods will repel each other because they have like charges.
