Question

We know that charged objects with the same sign repel each other and objects charged with opposite signs attract. What happens when a charged insulating object is brought near an uncharged conducting object without touching it?

Answer 1

A force will be exerted on a conductor and the conductor remains uncharged.

Explanation:

• When a charged particle is brought close to associate dead conducting object, a force is occurring on the conducting object to maneuver the lepton to the alternative of the conductor.

• There will be a separation of charge on the conducting object and also the charge is neutral. This is often thanks to the presence of charged insulating object close to it. Thus the conducting object is dead.

• When we brought concerning the insulating object, there'll be a force of attraction between the dead conducting objects and also the insulating object. Thus, there's a force occurring on the conducting object.
