Which one of the following is NOT a basic property of electric charge?
Options:
- a) Charges can be added.
- b) Charge is conserved.
- c) Charge on a body is always an integral multiple of an electron or a proton charge.
- d) Charges can be created and destroyed in an isolated system.
- a) Charges can be added.
- b) Charge is conserved.
- c) Charge on a body is always an integral multiple of an electron or a proton charge.
- d) Charges can be created and destroyed in an isolated system.
correct answer : d)
Explanation:
Charges can be added, charge is conserved, and charge is quantized. However, charges cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system (conservation of charge). Statement (d) is incorrect.
