How can a metal sphere be negatively charged by bringing a positively charged glass rod near it

by the process of induction ,... When we charge a metal sphere negatively by bringing a positively charged rod near its left surface, the electrons get attracted towards the left side and positive charges on right side.

Rahulmishra828: ya i know that induction theory ...i read and understood the process of positively charging a metal sphere ....coz by earthing ..negative charge was eliminated ..but i am confused ..how to get rid of positive charges ..because when a positively charged rod is brought near a metal rod ..it only aligns the positive and negative charges on metal sphere .
Rahulmishra828: ya ..how to get rid of the positive charge on the right side ...thats where m struggling
varun000: okay
varun000: when the sphere is earthed the electrons from earth flow to the sphere to neutralise the positive charge collected on the right side. Now, when the positively charged rod is removed the negative charges get distributed over the metal surface and the sphere gets negatively charged.

varun000: that was, helpful_?
Rahulmishra828: perfectly on point

Hi ..

By the process of induction ...when a positive charge is brought near to an object it attracts the negative charges of the other object and hence the sphere gets negatively charged.

hope this helps!

Rahulmishra828: thank you so much
Rahulmishra828: what if a metal sphere has both the charges aligned at opposite ends ....how can we get rid of only the positive ones ..making the whole sphere only negatively charged ???
Anonymous: adding electrons to it
Rahulmishra828: thanku so much .. u helped a lot
