MCQ
Earth is the source of $........$?
  • ✓
    An infinite positive and negative charge.
  • B
    Positive charge.
  • C
    Negative charge.
  • D
    Zero charge.
✓

Answer

Correct option: A.
An infinite positive and negative charge.
Earth can be considered as an infinite source of positive and negative charges.
This can be justified by the fact that if we connect any positive or negatively charged body to the ground, all of its charges will go to earth.
