Solution

INDUCTION: Charging an uncharged conductor by bringing a charged conductor near it without touching is called INDUCTION.
Selina Concise Physics Class 8 ICSE Solutions - Electricity 30.1
Place uncharged conductor B near positively charged conductor A nearer end of B has negatively charged electrons attracted towards positively protons remain on the 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.
