Charged Particles in Matter
If we rub a comb in dry hair,then this comb attracts small pieces of paper.And if we rub a glass rod with a piece of silk cloth and bring it near an inflated balloon,then the glass rod attracts the balloon.We know that an electrically charged object can attract an uncharged object. This means that on rubbing with dry hair,a comb gets an electric charge, and on rubbing with silk cloth,a glass rod also gets an electric charge.Now,the question arises :Where does this electric charge come from ? The obvious answer is : from within the atoms present in the comb and glass rod.These simple experiments tell us that some charged particles are present in the atoms of matter.So,the atom is divisible.
