Question

Charging by Induction CBI-1 Atoms in a non-conductor in the absence of any non-conductor external charges (or electric fields) are symmetric, as shown in the figure to the right. If a positively charged rod is brought near the non-conductor, the nuclei + charges) can't move, but the electrons can shift within each atom. Draw the electrons in the atoms in a figure like the one to the right. non-conduçtor charged+ non-conductor Also show the net result seen for the non-conductor. This is called polarization by induction. charged + rod

Answer 1

Ans, The electrons will spend more time near the positive charged rod.This polarizes the atoms of the non conductor. The figure below shows the effect.
