Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 4 : May be negatively charged or neutral

The correct answer is May be negatively charged or neutral.

Electric Charge

  • It is defined as the intrinsic property of certain fundamental particles like electrons, protons, etc, due to which they produce electric and magnetic effects.
  • Types of electric charge
    1. ​Positive charge: A body having a deficiency of electrons.
    2. ​Negative charge: A body having an excess of electrons.
  • Properties of electric charge
    • Like charges repel and unlike charges attract each other.
    • A charge is a scalar quantity.
    • A charge is always quantized.
    • A charge will always remain conserved.
    • A charge is always associated with mass.
    • The unit of charge is the coulomb.

⇒ 1 coulomb= charge on 625×1016 electrons

EXPLANATION:

  • Like charges repel and unlike charges attract each other.
  • A charged body will attract a body having an opposite charge.
  • A charged body may attract a neutral body.
  • So the other body may have a negative charge or it may be a neutral body. Hence, option 4 is correct.
