Question

If a negatively charged rod touches a conductor, the conductor will be charged by what method?

A: induction
B:friction
C:convection
D:conduction

Answer 1

b friction

thanks for the points

Answer 2

Answer: D. conduction

Explanation:

Charge is transferred from one object together by mainly three methods:

1. Induction: when a charged object is brought close to an uncharged object, the charge is induced.

2. Friction: when two bodies having different electro-negativity are rubbed against each other, both of them get charged. For example, balloon when rubbed with fur.

3. Conduction: when a charged object is touched to an uncharged object, the uncharged object gets charged.

Thus, when a negatively charged rod touches a conductor, the conductor would be charged by conduction.
