∙ 13y agoI'm not 100% sure because were just starting this in class today.
Let's say you have a negatively charged ebonite rod and you brought it toward a neutral pithball (if you don't know what that is just picture a shere). Before you brought the rod near the pithball, the protons and electrons in the pithball are spread out evenly. When u bring the negatively charged rod towards the pithball the electrons in the pithball move to the otherside of the ball. The protons never move but are now closer to the negatively charged ebonite rod. So technically, it reacts like a positively charged object would and attrcts to the negative ebonite rod ( unlike charges attract). But once the ebonite rod is moved away from the pithball, the pithball is neutral.
The pithball is always neutral because there's no transfer of electrons but I guess it is technically temporarily charged.
I'm not sure if that's what your looking for but I hope it helped a bit.

∙ 13y agoWhen a charged object is brought near a substance, the charges within the substance redistribute due to the influence of the external electric field. This redistribution causes the substance to become temporarily charged by induction, where one side becomes oppositely charged to the charged object and the other side becomes similarly charged. This occurs without direct contact between the charged object and the substance.
Yes, objects can become charged by induction. When a charged object is brought near a neutral object, the charges in the neutral object rearrange, causing one side to become oppositely charged. This process is known as induction, and it can result in the neutral object becoming charged temporarily.
A neutral substance acquires opposite charge to the object brought near it. For example, if a negatively charged object is brought close to a neutral substance, it will induce a positive charge on the neutral substance through the process of electrostatic induction.
When a charged object is brought near a neutral object, the charged object can induce the movement of electrons within the neutral object by exerting a force on them. This redistribution of electrons can result in the neutral object becoming temporarily charged in a process known as electrostatic induction.
When an object is charged by induction, it means that the object becomes polarized or temporarily charged in response to the presence of a charged object nearby, without direct contact. This occurs because the charges in the object rearrange themselves in response to the nearby charged object, leading to an imbalance of charges.

Induction happens
When a charged object is brought near a neutral object, the charged object can induce the movement of electrons within the neutral object by exerting a force on them. This redistribution of electrons can result in the neutral object becoming temporarily charged in a process known as electrostatic induction.

The rearrangement of electrons on an uncharged object without direct contact with a charged object is known as electrostatic induction. This occurs when a charged object is brought near the uncharged object, causing the electrons in the uncharged object to redistribute and create regions of positive and negative charge without physical contact.
induction
Electroscope can be charged by conduction, where it comes into direct contact with a charged object transferring charge, or by induction, where a charged object is brought close to the electroscope inducing a separation of charges within it.
Induction transfers electrons by creating a difference in charge between two objects. When a charged object is brought near a neutral object, the charged object induces the movement of electrons in the neutral object, resulting in a temporary redistribution of charges and the transfer of electrons.
Charging a neutral object by bringing it close to a charged object is known as charging by induction. When a charged object is brought near a neutral object, the charges in the neutral object are rearranged, causing one side to become oppositely charged to the charged object, resulting in an overall charge on the neutral object.
induction
Static electricity is transferred during charging by induction when a charged object is brought near a neutral object. The charged object induces a temporary separation of charges in the neutral object, causing one side to become oppositely charged to the charged object. Once the objects are separated, the neutral object retains a charge due to the induction process.
