Electrostatic Induction starts at 10 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Electrostatic Induction.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 10
A metal sphere is charged by induction and acquires a charge of +5 μC. If the sphere is then grounded, what will be its final charge?
A metal sphere is charged by induction using a negatively charged rod. What is the sign of the charge left on the sphere if the ground is removed before the rod?
A metal sphere is initially neutral. A negatively charged rod is brought near it, and the sphere is grounded. If the rod is removed before disconnecting the ground, what will be the final charge on the sphere?
A metal sphere is initially neutral. A positively charged rod is brought near it, and the sphere is grounded. If the ground is removed before the rod, what will be the final charge on the sphere?

Fill in the blank: During electrostatic induction, the induced charge is always ________ in sign to the inducing charge on the side closest to the inducing object.
Fill in the blank: Electrostatic induction can only occur in ________.
Fill in the blank: The charge induced on the far side of a conductor during electrostatic induction is ________ in sign to the inducing charge.
Fill in the blank: The earth is considered a ________ of charges during grounding in electrostatic induction.
If a charged object is brought near a neutral conductor and then removed without grounding, will the conductor remain charged?
True or False: Electrostatic induction can be used to separate positive and negative charges within a conductor.
True or False: Electrostatic induction can occur in both solids and liquids, as long as they are conductors.
True or False: In electrostatic induction, the inducing object must touch the conductor to induce a charge.
