loses its charge

Answer 2

Answer:

Body A loses its charge, and body B gains a positive charge.

Explanation:

• When two bodies are brought in contact with each other than the charges are distributed in both the bodies such that the initial total charge is equal to the final total charge.
• Charges are distributed uniformly on the surface of bodies.

Step 1:

Given that body A is positively charged and body B is uncharged.

When both bodies are touched charges start to get distributed on both bodies such that the net total charge remains the same.

Step 2:

This will take place when body A loses charge and uncharged body B gains charge.

So, the correct answer is body A loses its charge, and body B gains a positive charge.
