Question

In charging by conduction, when a charged body touches a neutral body:

Options

• The neutral body acquires the same charge as the source

• The neutral body remains completely uncharged

• The neutral body acquires the opposite charge to the source

• Both bodies become neutral

Answer 1

In charging by conduction, a charged body touches a neutral body, and charge flows between them on contact. The neutral body ends up with the same type of charge as the source. This differs from induction, which produces opposite charge on the near side without contact.
