How do the charges compare when two objects are charged through friction?

When two initially neutral objects are rubbed together, electrons transfer from one object to the other. One object gains electrons and becomes negatively charged, while the other loses electrons and becomes positively charged. The amount of charge transferred is equal, so the objects have equal amounts of charge with opposite signs. Therefore, they become oppositely charged and have equal amounts of charge.
