What name do we assign to charges due to induction?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When a charged object in brought near a metallic object, without touching it, the charge of opposite polarity that is induced on the surface of metallic object near charged objects is called bound charge. The charge of same polarity as of the charged object that is induced on farther surface of the metallic object is called free charge
