Question

A negatively charged body is connected to the ground, then choose the correct statement.

(A) Electrons flow from the body to the ground.

(B) It becomes positively charged.

• A. Only A is true.
• B. Only B is true
• C. Both A and B are true
• D. Both A and B are false

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Only A is true.

Correct option is A: Only A is true

Explanation:

1. When a negatively charged body is connected to the ground, the charges start flowing from the region of high potential (Negative charge ) to a region of low potential (Ground).
2. The charge flow takes place till the charge on the body becomes zero.
3. If statement A is only true, the rest of the options do not satisfy the statement.
4. When a negatively charged body is connected to the ground, then electrons flow from body to ground.
5. Since, charges start flowing from higher potential (Negative charge ) to a region of low potential (Ground), body will becomes neutral.
6. So, option B cannot be correct.

Final Answer: Option A
