NEET Physics Question - Electrostatics

Assertion (A): When an isolated charged body is connected to earth, all its charge flows to earth and it becomes electrically neutral.

Reason (R): Electric potential of earth is non zero, so the body connected to earth should also attain zero potential.

Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)

Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)

(A) is true but (R) is false

Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Earth is considered to have a zero potential. When a charged body is connected to Earth, charges flow until the body also attains zero potential, making it electrically neutral. Thus (A) is true and (R) is false.
