| Assertion (A): When bodies are charged through friction, there is transfer of charge from one body to another. No charge is created or destroyed. |
| Reason (R): This is according to the law of conservation of electric charge. |
A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
B) Both A and R are 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
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
| Option [a] is correct |
| 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. |
