So a charged object can induce a charge on both conductors and insulators. For the conductor, (assuming a negative object is brought near it), all the negative charge would flow to one side creating a strong attractive force. For an insulator, what exactly happens? I understand there will be a weak attraction. And also, once the object is taken away, will the charge become neutral again on the conductor and insulator?
