How does a substance become temporarily charged by induction when a charged object is brought near?

I'm not 100% sure because were just starting this in class today.
Let's say you have a negatively charged ebonite rod and you brought it toward a neutral pithball (if you don't know what that is just picture a shere). Before you brought the rod near the pithball, the protons and electrons in the pithball are spread out evenly. When u bring the negatively charged rod towards the pithball the electrons in the pithball move to the otherside of the ball. The protons never move but are now closer to the negatively charged ebonite rod. So technically, it reacts like a positively charged object would and attrcts to the negative ebonite rod ( unlike charges attract). But once the ebonite rod is moved away from the pithball, the pithball is neutral.
The pithball is always neutral because there's no transfer of electrons but I guess it is technically temporarily charged.
I'm not sure if that's what your looking for but I hope it helped a bit.

How can object be electrostatically charged?
An object can be electrostatically charged by friction, contact or induction.
An electroscope has been charged by induction with the help of a charged glass rod the charge on the electroscope will be?

Why would a charged balloon be attracted to the charged glass rod?
Due to electrostatic induction
Is electrical a non contact force?
Static electricity is a non contact force because : Whether an object is charged by conduction or induction or even by friction they acquire a charge and the objects acquire opposite charge in induction and friction but same charge in conduction. So when the charged body is brought near an uncharged body if they have opposite charge they will be attracted towards the charged body due to the movement of ionic particles.
Induction is a process of defusing a charged object?
