Question

Friction, conduction and induction are three ways of creating a static charge on an object. Which method or methods will produce the same charge on two objects? A) Friction only B) Conduction only C) Friction and conduction D) Friction, conduction and induction

Answer 1

Answer: B) Conduction

Explanation:

There are three ways to create a static charge on an object.

Friction: Two neutral objects when rubbed with each other acquire opposite charge.

Conduction: when one charged body is brought in contact with a neutral object or dissimilar charged object, charge is transferred from higher potential to lower potential till the two objects have same charge.

Induction: When a charged object is brought near a neutral body, the neutral object gets polarized. On the face near the charged body, opposite charge is induced.
