Question

Describe the various steps to charge a body negatively by induction.

Answer 1

The various steps to charge a body negatively by induction are:

1. Bring the positively charged object close to, but not touching, the conductor.
2. Positive and negative charges on the conductor shift in response to the nearby charged object.
3. Conne the conductor to the ground by conducting wire.
4. So, the positive charge induced on the conductor transfer to the earth due to the force of repulsion.
5. Now remove the ground connection of the conductor.
6. Remove the charged object.
7. The induced negative charge will be uniformly distributed to the conductor.
