Back

Friction

Front

What is the term for materials that do not allow electrons to move easily?

What happens during induction?

Back

A charged object causes a redistribution of charges in a neutral object without direct contact.

Front

What is the result of charging an object by conduction?

Back

The object acquires the same type of charge as the charged object it touched.

Front

What is the difference between conduction and induction?

Back

Conduction requires direct contact, while induction does not.
