Question

the electric charge remains at rest in a. static electricity, b. current electricity, c. none of these​

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

The electric charge is the inherent property of matter which appears due to the deficiency of charge or the excess number of electrons.

There are two types of charges, positive and negative.

When an object has deficiency of charge it becomes positive charge and when it gains some electrons, it becomes negative charge.

When the charge is in motion, it is called electric current and when the charge is at rest, it is called static current.

A charge at rest contributes the electric field only while the charge is in motion contributes the electric and magnetic field both.
