2. When a positively-charged rod is brought near an uncharged metal ball, the part of the ball near the charged rod acquires a negative charge, and the far side a positive charge. Can you say why this happens? Remember that in a body, negative charges are mobile whereas positive charges are fixed.

Answer:
When a positively charged body is brought near an uncharged metal rod, the part of the rod near the charged body acquires a negative charge because of the process of induction. The positively charged body attracts the negative charges, i.e., electrons towards it. The negative charges get accumulated near the end of the metal rod. The far end of the rod becomes positively charged because of the deficiency of negative charges.
