Question

State the sign of the charge acquired by an object byan object when it is charged by a positively charged rod through (a) conduction (b) induction. Give the reason for your statement.

Answer 1

Explanation:

There is no transfer of electrons from the negatively or positively charged objects or electrodes, but the neutral object derives the charge from the electrode which it is touching. So, the object will derive positive charge from the positively charged rod.
