conductor close to the metal rod. He touched the uncharged rod with finger and removed the
finger first then the charged conductor.
Now, answer the following questions:
(a) What is the nature of charge acquired by the uncharged rod?
(b) Why does it acquire this charge?​

Answer 2

Answer:

When a charged rod is brought near an uncharged conductor, it will attract its charges and induce an opposite charge on conductor.

As the charged rod removed, the attraction forces disappear so as the charge on conductor.

The nature of charge acquired by the uncharged rod is positive.

The free electrons are transferred from one body to another on touching thus making one body negatively charged (one which accepts electrons) and the other becomes positively charged (one which donates electrons).
