Question:
Can a conductor be charged by rubbing when there is an conductor as well as insulator?
Answer:
Yes, when we rubbed two bodies with each other, they become charged.This is due to transfer of electrons from one body to another body.
And then these charged bodies are able to attract some small objects like, pieces of papers,feathers etc.
This phenomena is called static or frictional electricity.
eg, When we rub a plastic scale with hair,then the scale becomes charged and then it can attract papers.
