What is the difference between charging by conduction and induction?

Answer 1

Charging by Induction:-

1. No physical contact.

2. No exchange of charge.

Charging by conduction:-

1. Two objects must be in physical contact.

2.Transfer of charge takes place.

Difference between charging by induction and charging by conduction:

Induction

Conduction

1. In this process there is no physical contact between the objects.

1. The conducting surface is connected to a charged object to transfer the charge.

2. The net charge on the object is zero since equal amount of opposite charge is accumulated on the side away from the side where a charge is induced.

2. The net charge on the object changes after the charging process since there is a transfer of charge.

Answer 2

Charging by conduction involves direct contact between a charged object and an uncharged object, allowing the transfer of charge through touch. On the other hand, charging by induction involves bringing a charged object near an uncharged object, causing the redistribution of charges in the uncharged object without direct contact.
