Physics · JEE | Electric Charges and Fields
हिन्दीGiven below are two statements:\n Statement I: The mass of a body depends on its net charge, increasing when positively charged and decreasing when negatively charged.\n Statement II: Charge is invariant, meaning the magnitude of charge on a body does not depend on its speed. \nIn the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
View Answer & Solution
Correct answer · Option D
Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
Explanation
Statement I is incorrect because a positively charged body loses electrons and thus loses mass. Statement II is correct because electric charge is relativistic invariant.
