How do +ve charge moves when connected to earth through a rod since they cannot move?
- No, it is incorrect to say that positive charge moves through the rod on connecting to Earth
- In a conductor, there is no possibility of motion of positive charge since protons are bounded within the nucleus.
- As electrons are revolving in circular orbit around the nucleus and weakly bounded to the nucleus, they can be easily detached from the atom and move freely.
- So, it is the negative charge which moves from earth and neutralises the positive charge.
