If a charged body is placed near a neutral conductor, will it attract the conductor or repel it ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether a charged body will attract or repel a neutral conductor when placed near it, we can analyze the situation step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Nature of the Charged Body**: - The charged body can be either positively charged or negatively charged. Let's denote these cases as Case 1 (positively charged) and Case 2 (negatively charged). 2. **Understanding the Neutral Conductor**: ...
