Question

When a body is charged by induction, then the body

• A. becomes neutral
• B. does not lose any charge
• C. loses whole of the charge on it
• D. loses part of the charge on it

Answer 1

The correct option is B does not lose any charge

Electrostatic induction is a redistribution of charges in an object, caused by influence of nearby charges. Charging by induction involves transfer of charges from one part to the other of the body. So no charge is lost in the process.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Why this question ?}\\ \text{Bottom line: Electrostatic induction leads to redistribution of}\\ \text{charges on account of law of conservation of charge.}\end{array}$
