Question

An uncharged conductor can be charged by _________ or ________ .

• A. conduction
• B. induction

Answer 1

1. An uncharged conductor can be charged by induction or conduction.
2. The process of charging the uncharged object by bringing another charged object near to it is called induction.
3. The process of charging the uncharged object by bringing it in contact with another charged object is called charging by conduction.
4. In induction no physical contact is required while in conduction physical contact is required.
5. A conductor cannot be charged by friction(rubbing).

Hence, an uncharged conductor can be charged by conduction or induction.
