Question

f a positive charge, q, is brought near a neutral conductor, what will the charge distribution on the neutral conductor look like?

If a positive charge, q, is brought near a neutral conductor, what will the charge distribution on the neutral conductor look like? A. Negative charges will collect on the surface of the conductor near +q, and positive charges will move to the opposite side. B. The positive charge will deposit positive charges all over the surface of the neutral conductor. D. Positive charges will collect on the surface of the conductor near +q, and negative charges will move to the opposite side

Explanation / Answer

Answer :- B

The positive charge will deposit positive charges all over the surface of the neutral conductor.

This is leads to charging by conduction

Charging by conduction involves the contact of a charged object to a neutral object. Suppose that a positively charged aluminum plate is touched to a neutral metal sphere. The neutral metal sphere becomes charged as the result of being contacted by the charged aluminum plate.
