This item includes an animation depicting what happens when a charged object is brought near a neutral conducting object. A complete text explanation of the process of induction accompanies the animation. This item is part of Multimedia Physics Studio, a collection of tutorials for high school physics students and teachers.
This resource is part of 2 Physics Front Topical Units.
Topic: "Static" Electricity
Unit Title: Teaching About Electrostatics What happens when a charged object is brought near a neutral conducting object? This animation will help your students visualize the process of induction. It was developed by the author of The Physics Classroom tutorials for high school physics. Link to Unit:
Topic: "Static" Electricity
Unit Title: Charge Interaction What happens when a charged object is brought near a neutral conducting object? Electrons in the conductor are forced (induced) to move about the sphere, as they are repelled by a negatively-charged tube. Once the ground is touched to the sphere, the electrons leave the sphere and move through the ground. Now, the sphere acquires a positive charge. Link to Unit:
