What happens to the Subatomic particles of an object when it is charged by induction?

The electrons are forced to move away from the induction as a negative charge builds up on one side of the object - it basically repels the force of the charger, leaving protons with an opposite charge on the other side of the object. The object still remains neutral, its protons have just shifted.
