Question

A body can be negatively charged by:
(A) giving excess of electron to it
(B) removing some electrons from it
(C) giving some protons to it
(D) removing some neutrons from it

Answer 1

Hint
In every body there is a positive charge and the negative charge. To make the body positive charged or negatively charged, it happens by means of external application of some particles which are having high negative charge.

Complete step by step answer
Charge is one of the properties of the body, which comes under the frictional electricity. If the body loses the excess of electrons it leads to the positive charge. For example, the experiment in our day to day life amber or lodestone, here donor is positive and acceptor is negative. If the body has an equal number of positive and the negative charge is called a neutral body. We know that the two substances are rubbed together, the electron of the atom of the one substance is transferred to another substance.
So, if one body needs to get the negative charge, it is possible when the other body gives their negative charge to this body and the donor body will become positive charge and the acceptor body will become negative charge. Another example of this type is, when the scale is rubbed in the hair and then the scale is taken near to the paper, the paper will be attracted by the scale, this is due to the charge transfer. So, the body is negatively charged when it gets the excess of the electrons or the negative charge.
Hence, the option (A) is the correct answer.

Note
The electric charge will never be created nor destroyed. But the electric energy is transferred from one part of the body to another part of the body or the charge is transferred from one body to another body. The electric charge in an isolated system, the total charge will remain constant in the same isolated system.
