Assertion : When bodies are charged through friction, there is a transfer of electric charge from one body to another, but no creation or destruction of charge.
Reason : This follows from conservation of electric charges.

Options

A. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
B. Both A and Rare true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
C. A is true but R is false
D. A is false and R is true

Answer

A

Explanation

When two bodies are rubbed, electrons move from one body to another. The body which loses electrons becomes positively charged. The body which receives the electron becomes negatively charged. So, the assertion is true. Law of conservation of electric charge states that electric charge can neither be created nor destroyed. In a closed system, the amount of charge remains same. Hence the reason is also true and properly explains the assertion.
