- MCQ
The vehicles carrying inflammable fluids usually have _______ metallic chains touching the ground.
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) To conduct excess charge due to air friction to ground and prevent sparking.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Static charge is developed due to air friction. This can result in combustion. So, metallic chains is used to discharge excess charge.
