Question

The charge can be generated by conduction or induction or friction ?

Open in App
Solution

Charge can be produced by conduction, induction and friction.
CHARGING BY CONDUCTION

an object can also be charged by touching it to a charged body. this happens because some charge from the charge body gets transferred to the uncharged body. this is called charging by conduction.in this case the body being charged the same charge as that on the charged body

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

a body can also be charged by bringing a charged body near it, but not touching it.this is called charged by induction. in this case the body being charged acquires an opposite charge to that of the body charging it



Charging by friction
Insulators are those which don’t conduct electricity. Or, we can say electrons from one end of the insulator don’t flow to the other end.

When you rub an insulator, electrons dislocated between the surfaces because of friction charges the insulator. These charges cannot flow through the insulator but stay static on the surface. Hence, the charges are called static charges.
Example: Rubbing a plastic comb on your dry hair causes negative charges to accumulate in the comb. Charges at the end near the hair cannot flow to your hand because plastic is an insulator.

In case of conductor the charge accumulated due to friction directly flow to your hand, discharging the conductor.
Hence, insulators can be easily charge by friction.
