Choose the correct statement :
When a positively charged body is placed on the ground.
(A) the electrons flow from the ground and neutral-ize the charge.
(B) the electrons flow from the ground and charge it negatively.

A

only A is true

B

only B is true

C

Both A and B are true

D

Both A and B are false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

When a positively charged body is kept on the ground, electrons from the ground flow to the body and neutralizes the excess charge (positive) present in the body, the and hence, the body acquires no charges, i.e, it becomes neutral body.
