Predict/Explain An electrically neutral object is given a negative charge. (a) In principle, does the object’s mass increase, decrease, or stay the same as a result of being charged? (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following:

I. To give the object a negative charge we must give it more electrons, and this will increase its mass.

II. A positive charge increases an object’s mass; a negative charge decreases its mass.

III. Charge is conserved, and therefore the mass of the object will remain the same.
