Answer:

The ebonite becomes negatively charged, and the fur becomes positively charged.

Step-by-step explanation:

When an ebonite rod is rubbed against animal fur, some of the electrons from atoms of the fur are transferred to the rod.The ebonite becomes negatively charged, and the fur becomes positively charged.(a) A positive charge (+) and a negative charge (–) attract each other. (b) Two negative charges repel each other. (c) Two positive charges repel each other.
