(i) A metallic coin is given a positive electric charge. Does its mass (a) increase measurably, (b) increase by an amount too small to measure directly, (c) remain unchanged, (d) decrease by an amount too small to measure directly, or (e) decrease measurably? (ii) Now the coin is given a negative electric charge. What happens to its mass? Choose from the same possibilities as in part (i).
