Question

What is the difference between the nature of charges when charged by conduction and induction
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Conduction Induction

Basic It results in flow of current due to electric field. It results in flow of current due to change in magnetic field.

Arrangement of conductors It requires direct contact between charged and uncharged conductors. No direct contact is required between charged and uncharged bodies.

Direction of current The current in both the conductors flows in same direction. The induced current is opposite in direction as that of actual current.

Gradient path Due to transferring nature of charges, gradient path is required. Due to inducing nature of charges, gradient path is not required.

Amount of charge Decreases, due to distribution of charges. Remains constant
