Question

State two ways of charging a conductor.

Answer 1

The two methods of charging a conductor are:

(a) Conduction— The process of charging an uncharged conductor by touching with a charged conductor, the uncharged
conductor shares the charge of the charged conductor.

(b) Induction— The process of charging an uncharged conductor with a charged conductor, without actually touching it is
called induction. Here the nearer end of the uncharged conductor acquires a charge of Opposite nature as compared to
the charge on a charged conductor.
