Answer 1

Answer:

(C) The neutral body will remain neutral as long as it is not touched by the charged body

Explanation:

The negatively charged rod is when brought in the vicinity of the neutral body, the neutral body's electrons get repelled by the negative charge on the rod. Hence, developing a positive charge in the region near the rod.

This way the charge gets rearranged – the positive charges move to one side and the negatives move to the other.

However, the neutral body(the uncharged one) remains neutral. There is no loss or gain of electrons and, therefore, no charge.

Since electrons can flow from one body to another only when the two bodies are placed in contact.

Hence, we conclude that the neutral body remains neutral as long as they're not brought in contact.
