Statement I: A conducting body is connected to the earth, hence it is electrically neutral.
Statement II: The potential of a conducting body connected to the earth is zero.

A

Statement I is true, Statement II is True, Statement II is a correct explanation for statement I.

B

Statement I is true, Statement II is True, Statement II is Not a correct explanation for statement I.

C

Statement I is True, Statement II is False.

D

Statement I is False, Statement II is True.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
An electrically neutral body means charge on the body is zero. A body connected to earth may possess some charge.
