Question:

Which of the following statement about charging by induction is TRUE?

Options:

the induced uncharged conductor and the inducing charged body have the same polarity of charge

the charges are accumulated in particular area of the induced conductor

the inducing charged conductor does not lose its own charge

None of these

Correct Answer:

the inducing charged conductor does not lose its own charge

Explanation:

The induction charging is a charging method that charges an object without actually touching the object to any other charged object. The charging by induction process is where the charged particle is held near an uncharged conductive material that is grounded on a neutrally charged material. The charge flows between two objects and the uncharged conductive material develop a charge with opposite polarity.
