Which of the following is the process of charging a conductor by bringing it near another charged object and then grounding the conductor?

a
neutralization
b
induction
c
conduction
d
polarization

1 answer

The correct answer is b - induction.

Induction is the process of charging a conductor by bringing it near another charged object, which causes a redistribution of charges within the conductor. When the conductor is then grounded, some of the charges can move to or from the ground, resulting in a net charge on the conductor.
