Electrostatics Basics

Let's say we took a neutral body which has special charge arrangement such that all the negative charge is on one side, now the positive side of the body is connected it to Earth, so Earth gives electrons to neutralize the body. My question is, how did electrons move without any Potential Difference? haven't studied 2nd chapter yet

who said there isnt potenital differnce

net charge on body as well as Earth is zero so how can any Potential Difference occur?

i understand there is this but the part tht u have connected to earth tht is positively charged so earth wnts to stay at zero potential and it will give off electron to tht think of potential differnce as a force this will be much clear then
Uranium

net potential to pehle bhi zero tha

its just a force or better term would be tendency net is the key word

wdym gives electron to neutralize body it may take elctron as well charge does not have to become neutral potential must be neutral by neutral i mean 0

yh yh i understood this we basically say na earth gave electrons to neutralise it doesnt but we say to explain the phenomenon thts waht he means there
