What is the difference between charging by conduction and charging by induction?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Charging by Conduction**: - Charging by conduction occurs when two objects are brought into direct physical contact with each other. When they touch, electrons can move from one object to another, allowing them to share charge. 2. **Process of Charging by Conduction**: - In this method, if one object is charged (for example, positively charged) and it comes into contact with an uncharged object, electrons will flow from the uncharged object to the charged object until both objects reach the same electric potential. This results in both objects having the same type of charge. ...
