Q. No.On vehicles that carry inflammable fluids, you might notice metallic chains dangling down, touching the ground. Why are they actually used?
| 1. | Just a random custom. |
| 2. | To alert other vehicles. |
| 3. | To discharge static charges produced due to friction. |
| 4. | Just for fashion vibes. |

A particle of mass \(m\) and charge \(q\) is at rest in an inertial frame. It is then given a velocity \(\dfrac{\sqrt{3}c}{2},\) where \(c\) is the speed of light in a vacuum. The electric charge of the particle, as measured in the same inertial frame, will:
| 1. | increase to \(2q\) | 2. | increase to \(\sqrt{3} q\) |
| 3. | decrease to \(\dfrac{q}{2}\) | 4. | remain equal to \(q\) |
