Electrostatic Induction

Mr. Andersen explains electrostatic induction, using examples like static electricity and an electroscope. He discusses how charges can be transferred through friction, conduction, and induction, and the differences between insulators and conductors. The video also covers polarization and how charge distribution changes in different materials.

Describe the process that occurs when a charged object is brought close to an electroscope.
