select the only wrong statement?

Correct answer: D. an electrically neutral body is repelled both positively and negatively charged bodies

  • A. similar charges repel each other
  • B. dissimilar charges attract each other
  • C. repulsion is the sure test of electrification
  • D. an electrically neutral body is repelled both positively and negatively charged bodies

A neutral body is normally attracted to a charged body by electrostatic induction, because opposite charge is induced on the nearer side. Like charges repel and unlike charges attract, while repulsion is the reliable test for electrification, so statement d is wrong.
