When a body is charged , it's mass remains constant.

Explanation:
*****************
A body can be charged either by
---> Friction
--> Conduction
---> Induction.

An object acquires charge only by transfer of electrons.
Positive charge by loosing electrons
Negative charge by gaining electron..
As electrons are very very light compared to neutron and proton.
Hence transfer of electrons to acquire charge will not affect it's mass.
As atomic mass ( mass of an object) is sum of neutrons and protons.

Conclusion: when a body is charged: Mass remains constant .

when a body is charged , it's mass will remain constant.

exaplantion : - when a body loses of electron it loses its mass and if it accept of electrons it gains its mass.
but when charging done by induction mass will remains constant . here not mentioned which method is used . so, we can't say mass decreases or increases . but we can say mass will be constant because mass of electron is negligible compare mass of body .

hence, its mass remains the same.
