An everyday example of charging by induction occurs with the buildup of dust on the screen of a television or computer monitor. When a computer monitor or television screen is turned on it begins to build up a charge. When a neutral dust particle comes near the screen, the charge on the screen induces an opposite charge on the near side of the dust particle and a charge, similar to that on the screen, on the far side. The result is that the dust is attracted to the screen. This same thing occurs if you take the negatively charged balloon and bring it close to a hanging coat or sometimes even the wall. Try it out with your balloon.

Using the image above & your trial that you attempt at home, explain what happens during the process of charging using induction

During the process of charging using induction, when a negatively charged object like a balloon is brought close to a neutral object like a hanging coat or the wall, the negative charge on the balloon induces an opposite charge on the near side of the object. This means that the electrons in the neutral object are repelled away from the balloon and move to the far side of the object. This creates a separation of charges, with positive charges on the near side and negative charges on the far side of the object.

As a result of this induced charge separation, the neutral object becomes polarized, meaning it has positive and negative charges on different sides. In response to the attractive force between the positive charges on the near side of the object and the negative charges on the balloon, the object is attracted towards the balloon.

This is similar to what happens with the dust particles on a screen of a television or computer monitor. The charge on the screen induces opposite charges on the near side of the dust particles, making them attracted to the screen.

In both cases, the charging by induction occurs due to the electromagnetic force between the charged object and the neutral object, causing a redistribution and separation of charges.
