Question

if one body is positively charged and another body is negatively charged, free electrons tend to
a) move from the
positively charged
body to the
negatively
charged body.

b) move from the

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the nature of electric charge: electrons are negatively charged. A negatively charged body has an excess of electrons, and a positively charged body has a deficit of electrons (or excess of protons). Since like charges repel and opposite charges attract, electrons (negative) will be attracted to the positive charge and repelled by the negative charge? Wait, no—wait, the negatively charged body has excess electrons, the positively charged has a deficit. So electrons (negative) will move from the region of excess (negative body) to the region of deficit (positive body)? Wait, maybe the options were cut off, but let's analyze the given option A: it says move from positive to negative. But positive body has less electrons (needs electrons), negative has more (has excess). So electrons should move from negative to positive. But since the second option (B) is cut off, but assuming the standard question: in a typical scenario, when one body is positive (deficient in electrons) and one is negative (excess electrons), electrons (negative) will move from the negative body to the positive body. But if option B was supposed to be "move from the negatively charged body to the positively charged body", then that's correct. But since the user's image shows option A as moving from positive to negative (which is wrong, because positive has less electrons, so electrons can't move out of it to negative which has more), and if option B (even if cut) is the correct direction (negative to positive), but since the user's question might have a typo or cut, but assuming the standard question: electrons move from negative (excess) to positive (deficit). But since the given option A is incorrect, and if B was the correct one (even if text is cut, maybe "move from the negatively charged body to the positively charged body"), but since the user's image shows A as moving from positive to negative (wrong) and B's text is cut. Wait, maybe the original question's option B is "move from the negatively charged body to the positively charged body". So the correct answer would be B (if that's the case). But let's recheck: positive charge means lack of electrons (protons > electrons), negative charge means excess electrons (electrons > protons). Electrons are negative, so they are attracted to positive (protons) and repelled by negative (electrons). So electrons will move from the negative body (where there's excess electrons) to the positive body (where there's a deficit). So the correct direction is negative to positive. So if option B is that, then B is correct. But since the user's image has option A as positive to negative (incorrect) and B's text is cut (maybe "move from the negatively charged body to the positively charged body"), then the answer is B (assuming that's the case). But since the user's question's option B is partially visible, but in standard physics (Electricity), electrons move from negative to positive. So the correct option would be the one that says electrons move from the negatively charged body to the positively charged body (which is likely option B, even if text is cut). But since the user's image shows option A as moving from positive to negative (wrong), so the correct answer is the other option (B), assuming B's text is "move from the negatively charged body to the positively charged body".

Answer:

B. move from the negatively charged body to the positively charged body (assuming the cut text is this, as per physics principles of electric charge and electron movement)
