Okay...Is it possible to charge a metal, by conduction, using only a single terminal of a battery?...Like it we touch only the negative terminal with the metal, is it going to get a negative charge??...If not, then why?
To charge it, you need to have charge moving, which is a current, right? What kind of a circuit do you need for current to flow?Kaneki123 said:Okay...Is it possible to charge a metal, by conduction, using only a single terminal of a battery?...Like it we touch only the negative terminal with the metal, is it going to get a negative charge??...If not, then why?
When we simply touch a negatively charged metal rod with a neutral metal rod, the charge distributes itself over the both surfaces...I am asking if this is possible in my case?berkeman said:To charge it, you need to have charge moving, which is a current, right?

Charging by conduction is a process in which an object becomes charged when it comes into contact with another charged object. The charge is transferred from one object to the other through direct contact.
When two objects with different charges come into contact, the electrons from the object with a higher charge will transfer to the object with a lower charge. This results in both objects having the same charge.
Most materials can be charged by conduction, but it is most commonly observed in metals and other conductors. This is because they have free electrons that can easily move from one object to another.
Charging by conduction involves direct contact between two objects, while charging by induction does not require contact. In induction, the charged object induces a separation of charges in the other object without direct contact.
No, charging by conduction is a temporary process. Once the two objects are separated, they will no longer have the same charge and the charged object will return to its original charge.
