Question

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

Answer 1

Explanation:

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

1. Bring the negatively 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. Connect the conductor to the ground by conducting wire.
4. So, the negative 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 positive charge will be uniformly distributed to the conductor.

Hence, the conductor will get a uniformly positive charge over it.
