Bringing a neutral object close to a charged object is known as induction. This process can cause the neutral object to become charged temporarily through the redistribution of charges.
The charged object will induce opposite charges in the electrically neutral surface due to electrostatic forces. This will result in the redistribution of charges on the surface without physically transferring any charge to it.
When a positively charged object is brought near a negatively charged object, they will attract each other due to the difference in charges. The positively charged object will exert a force on the negatively charged object, causing them to move towards each other.
To use an electroscope to determine if an object is charged, first discharge the electroscope by grounding it. Next, bring the object close to the electroscope without touching it. If the leaves of the electroscope diverge, it indicates that the object is charged.
no
To charge a body by induction, bring a charged object near but not in contact with the body. This will cause the charges in the body to redistribute, leaving one side positively charged and the other negatively charged. Remove the charged object, and the body will remain charged due to the separation of charges induced by the presence of the charged object.

To determine if a metal leaf electroscope is neutral, bring a charged rod near the metal cap. If the metal leaves diverge, the electroscope is neutral. If the metal leaves collapse or diverge more, the electroscope is positively charged.
position in an electric field. This energy arises from the interactions between charged particles within the field, and is related to the work done to bring the charged object to its position.
Yes, and in fact they do. You can easily see this yourself by rubbing a balloon on a sweater and then "sticking" it to a wall.This happens because of something called "induced dipoles".Let's say you have an electrically charged object ... negatively charged, for example.If you bring it near an uncharged object, what happens is that the electrons in the molecules of the uncharged object tend to be repelled by the charged object. They move as far to the opposite side as they can get.Because the electromagnetic force gets smaller with distance, the uncharged molecules now have a slight net attraction to the charged object, since the part of the molecule that's attracted to the charged object is now closer to the charged object than the part of the molecule that's repelled by it. This means the attractive force is very slightly greater than the repulsive force. For any individual molecule, it's not much, but there are a LOT of molecules in any object large enough to see, and those tiny attractions add up.
Tie the unknown object and an object with a known charge to separate strings. Hold the two objects up by the strings, and bring them near each other. If the objects repel it means that the unknown object has the same charge as the known object. If they attract it means the unknown object has an opposite charge as the known object.
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.
There is a very simple and easy way of charging a conductor without an actual contact. Rub a glass piece in silk and a static charge develops in the glass piece. Now bring this glass piece close to a metal ball grounded. This develops a charge in the ball. The opposite charge flows to like charges flow to the ground while the unlike charge remains.
