Question
Upon charging by conduction, the mass of a body may :
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Increase or decrease
The charge of a body depends upon transfer of electrons. So, if a body becomes negatively charged, it implies that it has gained electrons and hence its mass will increase. Whereas if a body becomes positively charged it loses electrons hence its mass will decrease. Therefore it is possible for the mass of a body to both increase and decreases upon conduction.
