Two bodies are charged by rubbing one against the other. During the process, one becomes positively charged while the other becomes negatively charged. Then

A

mass of each body remains unchanged

B

mass of each body changes marginally

C

mass of each body changes slightly and hence the total mass

D

mass of each body changes slightly but the total mass remains the same

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The transfer of electrons from one body to the other results in redistribution of charges. Hence, no. of electrons given by one body = Number of electrons obtained by the other.
`therefore` Mass of negatively charged body slightly increases.
Whereas the total mass of the system remains the same.
