Question 9 • Crowley Credit Recovery Physics B

How does charging by conduction compare with charging by induction?

Answer
A
A charged object is needed in conduction but not in induction.
B
Two neutral objects are needed in conduction but not in induction.
C
Objects must touch in induction but not in conduction.
D
Oppositely charged objects form in induction but not in conduction.

Explanation

In conduction, a charged object touches another object and transfers charge, usually leaving the second object with the same type of charge. In induction, a charged object causes charge separation without touching, and grounding can leave the object with a charge opposite to the nearby charged object. Therefore, oppositely charged objects form in induction but not typically in conduction.
