In induction, what charge does a neutral substance gain compared to the object brought near it?
The neutral object gains the same type of charge as the object that touched it because the electrons move from one object to the other (Figure 10.16). Induction is the movement of electrons within a substance caused by a nearby charged object, without direct contact between the substance and the object.
The law of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of interacting objects does not <u>change</u>. This means the total momentum <u>before</u><u> </u>a collision or explosion is equal to the total momentum <u>after</u><u> </u>a collision or explosion.
