Due to an object nearby, the electrons move to a specific direction as they are either attracted or repelled by it. Such as if there is a negatively charged object near an uncharged object, the electrons in the uncharged object will move as far away from the negative object as possible, and this is what you called an induced charge.

Explain the difference between induced charge separation and charging by induction?
In induced charge separation, the charge of both substances remain neutral. There is no actual transferring of charges. During charging by induction, there is a transfer of charges by grounding.
How do like charges behave unlike charges?
Like charges with repel one another, whereas opposite charges with attract.
What is a induced fit hypothesis?
a. The substrate can be altered so it is induced to fit into the enzyme's active site. b. The enzyme changes its shape slightly as it binds to the substrate. c. The enzyme is altered so it is induced to fit many different types of substrate. d. Several sites on an enzyme can be induced to act on a substrate.
What are the two electric charges?
There are two types of charges: positive charges and negative charges. Positive charges are immobile, and are found inside the nuclei of atoms as Protons. Negative charges can be mobile, and have the source of electrons. These orbit the nuclei of atoms, and can be stripped from the atoms to be used as mobile charged through conductors, such as electricity moving through wires.
What determines whether charges attract or repel?
If charges are alike, they repel. If charges are opposite, they attract.
What is induced charge?
charges that 'appear' on an uncharged object because of a charged object nearby is called induced charge.
How does a magnetic field differ from a gravitational field?
magnetic fields are induced by flowing current or stationary charges, while gravitation fields are induced by bodies of mass as opposed to charge. ok? you got the answer now
Can be attracted by a positively charged object?
A negatively charged object. Also, a neutral object, through an induced separation of charges.
What object can be attracted by a charged object?
A negatively charged object. Also, a neutral object, through an induced separation of charges.
When you brush or comb your hair vigorously on an extremely dry day your hair strands on end because?
you have induced static charges
What can be attracted by a positively charged object?
A negatively charged object. Also, a neutral object, through an induced separation of charges.
What attract when a charged object is brought close to an uncharged object use?
If positively charged body is brought near then opposite charges i.e. negative charges are induced and hence attraction occurs
What type of charge produced when an electric field separates positive and negative charges?
no charge it could be no charge
Why is a neutral object attractred to a charged object?
This is known as electrostatic induction. As charged object (say positive) is brought near by the neutral object the opposite charges i.e. negative would get attracted towards and positive charges would be pushed away. Yet the object is neutral though the charges got separated. Now due to attraction of unlike charges the neutral is attracted towards the charged one.
Why there exists magnetic Field when there is no magnetic charges practically?
A magnetic field is induced by moving electric charges, either by an actual electric current, or the way that electrons (charged particles) spin around the nucleus [in the case of magnetic materials becoming magnetized].
Explain the difference between induced charge separation and charging by induction?
In induced charge separation, the charge of both substances remain neutral. There is no actual transferring of charges. During charging by induction, there is a transfer of charges by grounding.
Can object with a static charge can attract only other charged objects?
No. It can exert a much weaker force on neutral objects, due to an induced separation of charges - that is, the charged object will cause a separation of charges in the uncharged object, thus creating an electric dipole.
