Can objects be charged by induction?

Answer 1

I'm really not sure, however I know that when charging by induction, the electrons repel during induction, due to grounding an object. The charge that an object has when it is charged by induction varies depending on the amount of electrons taken away.

When an object is charged by induction, the object has the opposite charge of the object inducing the charge.

Answer 2

Assuming both were neutral to start, an object which is charged by contact with another object would have the opposite charge to the object with which the charge transfer occurred as charge is a conserved property. An object that loses electrons to another object would become more positive while and object which gains electrons would become more negatively charged.

it can be negative, since the electrons are the only ones to move from a charge to the object

positive charge does NOT move

thus once it gave the electrons, the thing will get a positive charge while the object will be a negative charge

pretty much i said it in easier words from the paragraph above ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Answer 3

Yes, objects can be charged by induction. This process involves bringing a charged object near a neutral object, causing the charges to rearrange within the neutral object without direct contact. This results in one side becoming positively charged and the other side becoming negatively charged.

Answer 4

Of course yes, but not all objects: Only metals can be charged by induction.
