In charging by induction, charges flows from the charged object to the neutral object by contact.a.TRUEb.FALSE

The statement is b. FALSE.

Here's why:

In charging by induction, the charged object does not need to physically touch the neutral object for the latter to be charged. Instead, the charged object is brought near the neutral object, causing a redistribution of charges within the neutral object due to the electric field of the charged object. This results in one side of the neutral object having an induced charge opposite to that of the charged object. If the neutral object is then grounded (allowing excess charges to flow to the earth), it will be left with a net charge opposite to that of the charged object. The charged object can then be removed, leaving the previously neutral object charged. This process does not involve any flow of charge from the charged object to the neutral object by contact.
