Answer:

induction using ground connection

Step-by-step explanation:

This process is referred to as induction and it is done using ground process.

The process can be carried out as follows;

-An object that has a positive charge would be brought close to another object that is neutrally charged. then the electrons of the neutral object would be attracted and +ve charges would be repelled. This would cause an alignment at the two opposite corners.

- After this is done, the object would be grounded from the side that has the positive charges. This would bring about electron flowing from the ground to the earth. bringing about a neutralization of the positive charges.

-then the grounding would be taken away resulting in electrons leaving in majority.

-At the end, after the positively charged object has been removed, the charges would reassemble themselves. this would cause the object to be negatively charged.

therefore negative charge can be induced on a different object that is neutral using positive charge, through the induction process and grounding.
