Question

• A. total charge on a system remains constant
• B. total charge on an isolated system is always zero
• C. charges are of two types positive and negative
• D. it tells about the scalar nature of charge

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

If a system contains two point charges $q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ and total charge of the system is obtained simply by adding algebraically, i.e., charge add up like real numbers or they are scalars like mass of the body.
