The production and type of charge of a body can only be accounted for by the?
deficiency or surplus of electrons
equibrium in protons and neutrons
deficiency or surplus of protrons
deficiency or surplus of neutrons
Paliwanag
The charge of a body is determined by the imbalance between the number of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged). A deficiency of electrons results in a positive charge, while a surplus of electrons results in a negative charge.
