Answer:

For the displacement of charge

Step-by-step explanation:

When the vehicle is in motion,due to friction in air,the body of the vehicle gets charged. if accumulated, charge becomes excessive,sparking May occur and inflammable materials may catch fire. therefore metallic chains touching the ground are introduced so that the charge quickly leaks to the earth.
