Question

When an uncharged conductor is brought near a charged body without any contact, then:

विकल्प

• The nearer side develops similar charge and the far side develops opposite charge

• The nearer side of the conductor develops opposite charge and the far side develops similar charge

• Both sides develop opposite charge to the charged body

• No redistribution of charge occurs inside the conductor

Answer 1

This is charging by induction: the nearer side of the conductor develops charge opposite to that of the charged body, while the far side develops similar charge. No physical contact is involved.
