An uncharged conductor is placed near a charged conductor, then_____________?
Correct answer: B. the uncharged conductor gets charged by induction and then attracted towards the charging body
- A. the uncharged conductor gets charged by conduction
- B. the uncharged conductor gets charged by induction and then attracted towards the charging body
- C. the uncharged conductor is attracted first and then charged by induction
- D. it remains as suchTry CAD Software
Explanation
A nearby charged conductor polarizes the uncharged conductor by induction, producing opposite charge nearer to it and hence a net attraction. No direct conduction is required for this effect.
