2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
hard
The vehicles carrying inflammable fluids usually have metallic chains touching the ground:
A
To conduct excess charge due to air friction to ground and prevent sparking.
B
To alert other vehicles.
C
To protect tyres from catching dirt from ground.
D
It is a custom.
(JEE MAIN-2024)
Solution
Static charge is developed due to air friction. This can result in combustion. So, metallic chains is used to discharge excess charge.
