Question
When a negatively charged conductor is connected to earth
✓
Answer
(d) Electrons flow from the conductor to the earth
Explanation: After earthing a positively charged conductor electrons flow from earth to conductor and if a negatively charged conductor is earthed then electrons flows from conductor to earth.
