Two identical metallic spheres of exactly equal masses are taken. One is given a positive charge q coulombs and. other an equal negative charge. Are their masses equal after charging ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
No, the mass of the negatively charged sphere (excess of electrons) will be slightly more than that of the positively charged sphere (deficit of electrons).
