AIIMS 2019 Physics Induction MCQ Question
Though the net charge on the conductor is still zero but due to induction negatively charged regions in nearer to the rod as compared to the positively charged region. That is why the conductor gets attracted towards the rod.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The phenomenon described is due to electrostatic induction, where a charged rod induces a separation of charges within the neutral conductor. The negatively charged regions of the conductor are attracted to the positively charged rod, resulting in an overall attraction despite the conductor's net charge remaining zero. Other options are not applicable in this context as they do not provide relevant information or explanations regarding the principles of electrostatics and charge distribution. Understanding this concept is crucial for grasping how charged objects interact with neutral conductors.
