Answer:

Correct Answer is option C

Explanation:

Option A cannot be correct because if both earth and clouds are negatively charged then they will repel each other and electron cannot flow through it because electron is negatively charged and it will get attracted towards positively charged terminal. Hence electric current will not flow between them.

Option B

cannot be correct because if both earth and clouds are positively charged then they will repel each other and electron cannot flow through it.Hence electric current will not flow between them.

Option C

It is correct option because flow of current means flow of electron. so electron which are negatively charged particle will move from cloud to positively charged ground.

Option D

If clouds are neutral then electron will not be there and hence current will not flow.

Depending on circumstances, there are times when divers may wish to be positively, negatively or neutrally buoyant. True. False.
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Buoyancy is the most important factors for divers. All they do underwater is to observe the life down there but they also have some other work. However, divers may want to be negatively buoyant when they want to go on deep exploration. When they reach a destination, they may want to observe and neutral buoyancy then will be useful. When they want to go back on surface, they’ll utilize positive buoyancy.
