Question

The process due to which an uncharged insulated metallic conductor gets electrically charged when held near a charged body is called _____

Answer 1

1. When a charged body i.e., negatively charged or positively charged is held near an uncharged or neutral body, the uncharged body acquires electric charges.
2. The process of electrically charging a body by bringing another charged body near it is known as charging by induction.
3. Hence, the process due to which an uncharged insulated metallic conductor gets electrically charged when held near a charged body is called charging by induction.
