Electrostatics
Consider a neutral conducting sphere. A positive point charge is placed outside the sphere. The net charge on the sphere is then,
Describe the method of charging a conductor by induction.
$$Induction$$ : "Charging an uncharged conductor by bringing a charged conductor near it without touching is called $$induction$$ .
Place uncharged conductor $$ B $$ near +vely charged conductor $$ A $$ nearer end of $$ B $$ has -vely charged electrons attracted towards +vely protons remain on farther end of $$ B $$. Hence, nearer end of $$ B $$ is charged oppositely i.e. negative. We can test it by pith ball electroscope. On removing charged body $$ A $$ away from $$ B $$, The body $$ B $$ becomes neutral due to protons and electron in $$ B $$ are equal and have opposite charge.
Consider a neutral conducting sphere. A positive point charge is placed outside the sphere. The net charge on the sphere is then,
When a body is charged by induction, then the body
A sure test of electrification is:
In induction, a positively charged body can make an uncharged body positively charged.
Charging a conductor by bringing another charged conductor close to it without touching is called
In induction the charge induced in the near surface of a dielectric is:
A piece of paper appears to be attracted to a charged ebonite rod, even before they touch (see fig.). The charge at A is :
