| Explain why an ebony stick can be frictionally charged while holding it in your hand, but a metal one cannot be loaded without a rubber glove. As you explain, remember that the human body is a vehicle.
The ebony stick is a dielectric, so the charges do not move along the stick, the metal is a conductor, it will be grounded through the human body.
