Charging By Induction definitions Flashcards

A method of charging objects without direct contact, resulting in a net charge.

A material that allows the flow of electric charges, used in the induction process.

A massive reservoir of charges that can supply or absorb electrons during induction.

The process where charges within a conductor rearrange in response to a nearby charged object.

Negatively charged particles that move between the ground and conductor during induction.

Charges that accumulate on the opposite side of a conductor when a charged rod is nearby.

Charges that accumulate near a positively charged rod during induction.

An object used to induce charge in a conductor by being brought near it.

The overall charge of an object after undergoing induction, either positive or negative.

The act of disconnecting the conductor from the ground to retain induced charges.

A source or sink of electric charges, typically the earth, used in induction.

Particles that can be positive or negative, involved in the induction process.

The unequal distribution of charges on a conductor after induction.

An entity that provides electrons during the induction process.

An entity that absorbs electrons during the induction process.
