Question
What is meant by ‘electrostatic induction’?
Solution
Electrostatic induction is a method to create or generate static electricity in a material by bringing an electrically charged object near it. This causes the electrical charges to be redistributed in the material, resulting in one side having an excess of either positive (+) or negative (−) charges. In induction the charged body does not lose any of it's charge while in the process where the uncharged body is attaining any charge.
