Answer 1

a is the correct option as

A has charge while B has no charge

Answer 2

The correct option to the following question is (a), which is charged and neutral.

• When an object possesses an electric charge, it is said to be charged. The process of supplying the electric charge to an object or losing the electric charge from an object is called charging.
• When an object is given a charge, the charge gets distributed uniformly on the surface of the body.
• The charge on the body will be equal to 'ne'. n is the number of electrons, and e is the charge of the electron.
• When a body has no charge, it is said to be neutral. When a number of electrons are equal to the number of protons, then the effective charge on the object will be zero, and the object is said to be neutral.
