Question
What is meant by electrostatic induction? You have been given two metal containers A and Band a positively charged body X. With the help of a diagram, explain the different stages of charging - A positively, and B negatively.
Solution
Electrostatic induction is the process of charging a body by bringing another charged body near to it. When the X will come near to body B, the opposite charge will be acquired by body B.
So, a negative charge will be acquired. Similarly, by electrostatic induction, A will acquire the opposite charge of B. so A will acquire a positive charge.
