The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each statement provided and determine whether they are correct or incorrect based on our understanding of electrostatics. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement A Analysis**: - The statement claims that the charge gained by an uncharged body from a charged body due to conduction is equal to half of the total charge initially present. - When a charged body (with charge +Q) comes into contact with an uncharged body, the charge will redistribute based on the potential of both bodies. - If the bodies are of equal size, they will share the charge equally, but if they are of different sizes, the charge distribution will depend on their respective capacitances. - Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. 2. **Statement B Analysis**: - This statement suggests that the magnitude of charge increases with the increase in the velocity of charge. - However, the magnitude of charge is a property of the particle itself and does not depend on its velocity. - Hence, this statement is also **incorrect**. 3. **Statement C Analysis**: - The statement claims that charge cannot exist without matter, although matter can exist without net charge. - This is true because charged particles (like electrons and protons) are forms of matter, and they carry charge. - Neutrons are matter but do not carry charge, supporting the second part of the statement. - Thus, this statement is **correct**. 4. **Statement D Analysis**: - This statement states that between two non-magnetic substances, repulsion is the true form of electrification. - If two bodies are charged with the same type of charge (both positive or both negative), they will repel each other. - Therefore, this statement is also **correct**. ### Conclusion: From the analysis, we find that: - Statement A: Incorrect - Statement B: Incorrect - Statement C: Correct - Statement D: Correct Thus, the correct alternatives are **C and D**.
