Conduction, Induction & Friction

Front

What is conduction in the context of electricity?

Back

Conduction is the process by which electric charge is transferred through direct contact between materials, allowing electrons to move from one object to another.

Front

What is induction in the context of electricity?

Back

Induction is the process of charging an object without direct contact, where a charged object influences the distribution of charges in a nearby neutral object.

Front

What is friction in the context of charging objects?

Back

Friction is the process of charging an object by rubbing it against another object, causing electrons to be transferred from one material to another.

Front

What happens to a conductor when a negatively charged rod touches it?

Back

The conductor becomes negatively charged due to the transfer of electrons from the rod to the conductor.

Front

What is the relationship between an electron and a positively charged sheet?

Back

An electron is attracted to a positively charged sheet due to the opposite charges.

Front

What is the relationship between an electron and a negatively charged sheet?

Back

An electron is repelled by a negatively charged sheet due to the same charges.

Front

What happens to two neutral metal spheres when a negatively charged rod is brought near them?

Back

One sphere becomes negatively charged and the other becomes positively charged due to induction.

Front

What occurs when a glass rod is rubbed with silk?

Back

The glass rod becomes positively charged, and the silk becomes negatively charged due to the transfer of electrons.

Front

Can charge be temporary? If so, in what context?

Back

Yes, charge can be temporary in the context of induction.

Front

What is the main difference between conduction and induction?

Back

Conduction requires direct contact for charge transfer, while induction does not require contact.
