Which occurs when neutral object A is charged by induction by charged object B?

Question

a
Charge transfers from object A to object B.
b
Charges on object B are rearranged.
c
Charges on object A are rearranged.
d
Charge transfers from object B to object A.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

c. Charges on object A are rearranged.

When a neutral object A is brought near a charged object B, the electric field from object B causes the charges within object A to redistribute themselves. This phenomenon is known as charging by induction. While there is no transfer of charge between the two objects, the charges within object A are rearranged due to the influence of the electric field from the charged object B.
