Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

In the induction process, a charged object is brought near but not touched to a neutral conducting object. The presence of a charged object near a neutral conductor will force (or induce) electrons within the conductor to move. ... The flow of electrons results in a permanent charge being left upon the object. State the sign of the charge acquired by an object when it is charged by a positively charged rod

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.
