Hello,
I have a question about the wool and the wax on this page.
https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbook/direct-current/chpt-1/voltage-current/
If we rub the wool and the wax then there will be a surplus of electrons in the wax.
If we separate the 2 materials and then make them on contact again will the electrons be returned to the wool?
It seems to me like it should because their is difference in potential between the 2 materials but it looks like it will only do that if you connect a copper wire to both materials?
