Question

Positive charge is heavirer or negative charge is heavier

Answer 1

• During positive charging of a body, electrons are lost and mass decreases
• During negative charging of a body, electrons are gained and mass increases
• Hence, a body with negative charge is heavier compared to positive charge
• In the case of a positively charged particle such as proton is compared with negatively charged particle such as electron, then it is the proton which is heavier
