Question

Two oppositely charged balls A and B attract the third ball C, when placed near them turn by turn. The third ball C must be
(A) Positively charged
(B) Negatively charged
c)neutral​

Answer 1

c) neutral

Explanation:

hope it works

Answer 2

The third ball C must be c)neutral​

what is neutral?

• The overall charge of an atom is zero when it is electrically neutral.
• Atoms are made up of neutrons that are non-charged.
• When two oppositely charged balls A and B are placed near each other, the third ball C is drawn to them netural.

Explanation of incorrect answer:

(A) Positively charged:

Atoms are made up of protons, which are positively charged. When an atom has more protons than electrons, it has a positive charge. So the third ball cannot be Positively charged.

(B) Negatively charged:

A negative ion is formed when an atom has an excess of negative charge. So the third ball cannot be negatively charged.

Hence, When two oppositely charged balls A and B are placed near each other, the third ball C is attracted to them. Netural must be the third ball C.
