repulsion is sure test for electrification. explain?
When you use repulsion as a test for electrification, it's talking about induction. By charging by induction, you give the secondary object the opposite charge hence causing the two to push away from each other.
If two objects are repelling, it is a confirmation of the fact they are charged
if u have read about charging a body by induction u must have observed that when we place the charged body near a neutral body the neutral body accuires a charge opposite to that of the charged body hence they attract each other,even though the body is still neutral as it has same no.s of +VE and -VE charge but only distribution is different so we can never say that if 2 bodies are being attracted it means that both of them are electrically active but in the case of repulsion its not so...
