The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze both statements provided in the question. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement 1 **Statement 1:** A positively charged body may have negative potential. - A positively charged body means that it has more protons than electrons. However, the concept of electric potential is relative. The potential of a body is measured with respect to a reference point, usually taken as the ground or zero potential. - When a positively charged body is grounded, electrons from the ground can flow into the body to neutralize some of the positive charge. This can lead to the body having a potential that is lower than the reference point (ground), which can be considered negative. - Therefore, Statement 1 is **true**. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement 2 **Statement 2:** A positively charged body has electrons inside it. - A positively charged body indeed contains electrons; however, the number of electrons is less than the number of protons. For example, if a body has 20 protons and 10 electrons, it is positively charged because the net charge is positive (20 - 10 = +10). - Thus, Statement 2 is also **true**. ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship Between the Statements - While both statements are true, Statement 2 does not provide a valid explanation for Statement 1. The presence of electrons in a positively charged body does not inherently mean that the body can have negative potential. The negative potential arises from grounding, not merely from the presence of electrons. - Therefore, while both statements are true, Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1. ### Conclusion - Both statements are true, but Statement 2 does not justify Statement 1. Hence, the correct answer is that both statements are true, but Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1. ### Final Answer Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true, but Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1. ---
