Distinguish between charging by conduction and charging by induction?
Step 1: Drawing the diagram of charging by conduction:
Step 2: Drawing the diagram of charging by induction:
Step 3: Difference between charging by conduction and charging by induction:
Charging by conduction | Charging by induction |
1. The process of charging an uncharged conductor by bringing it in electrical contact with a charged body is called charging by conduction. | 1. The process of charging an uncharged conductor by bringing a charged body near it, but not touching it, is called charging by induction. |
2. The charged body shares its charge with the uncharged conductor. | 2. There is no actual transfer of charge from the charged body to the conductor. A charge is only induced on the conductor. |
3. Charge produced on the conductor is of the same nature as the charge on the charged body. | 3. Charge produced on the conductor is opposite to the nature of the charge on the charged body. |
