Question

Charging by conduction is when a charged body is touched to an uncharged body and there is a transfer of charges.
if the charged body is negatively charged and is in contact with an uncharged body, the electrons of the uncharged body are shared amongst the charged and the uncharged body.
But if the charged body is positively charged then what happens?

Answer 1

Dear Student, postive and negative charges are due to transfer of electron. So it doesn't matter wether coductor is positively charged or negatively charged transfer of electron occurs in both cases. When a body is positively charged it has deficiency of electron So when positively charged body is touched with uncharged conductor electrons from uncharged body moves to charged body. Regards
