A positively charged rod is brought close to one end of a neutral metallic plate. What type of charge is induced on the farthest side of the plate?*1 pointpositivenegativeneutralIt depends on the separation between the rod and the plate.

The type of charge induced on the farthest side of the plate would be positive. Here's why:

1. When a positively charged rod is brought close to a neutral metallic plate, the electrons in the plate are attracted to the rod. This is because opposite charges attract each other.

2. As the electrons move towards the end of the plate closest to the rod, they leave behind a positive charge. This is because the movement of electrons creates a separation of charge within the plate.

3. The end of the plate farthest from the rod is left with a positive charge because the electrons have moved away from it towards the rod.

So, the farthest side of the plate would have a positive charge.
