Question
A positively charged rod is brought close to one end of a neutral metallic plate. What type of charge is induced on the closest side of the plate?
Solution
When a positively charged rod is brought close to one end of a neutral metallic plate, the electrons in the metal are attracted to the positive charge. This causes a redistribution of the electrons within the metal, with more electrons moving towards the side of the plate closest to the rod. This results in a negative charge being induced on the closest side of the plate. The far side of the plate, having lost some of its electrons, becomes positively charged. This is due to the principle of charge induction.
