Question

what happens when electric charge jumps form a charged body to uncharged body with a narrow gap in between them​

Answer 1

Answer:

If a negatively charged object is used to charge a neutral object by induction, then the neutral object will acquire a positive charge. And if a positively charged object is used to charge a neutral object by induction, then the neutral object will acquire a negative charge.

If a negatively charged object is used to charge a neutral object by induction, then the neutral object will acquire a positive charge. And if a positively charged object is used to charge a neutral object by induction, then the neutral object will acquire a negative charge.Hence, the process due to which an uncharged body acquires electric charges when held near a charged body is called induction.

Answer 2

The charged would start to attract the uncharged body due to a force called electrostatic force. The negatively charged body can be thought to be an electron rich specie. ... Hence, the ends of the two bodies develop opposite charges and mutual attraction occurs.
