Answer:

See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a change in the distribution of electric charge on one object because of the influence a nearby object that has an electric charge. So if an object with a negative charge is brought near to a neutral object, the neutral object will alter itself so that one side becomes more positive and the other side becomes more negative.

Electrostatic induction occurs whenever any object is placed in an electric field.
