The method that involves charging a conductor by bringing it near another charged object is called charging by induction. In this method, a charged object is brought near a neutral conductor, which causes a separation of charges within the conductor. This happens because the electrons in the neutral conductor are attracted to the charged object, causing them to move towards it. The side of the conductor that is closer to the charged object becomes negatively charged, while the side that is farther away becomes positively charged. Although the charged object induces a separation of charges in the conductor, no transfer of electrons actually occurs between the two objects.
