    Charge Induction
AI Thread Summary
A liquid can indeed be induced with charge, particularly if it contains polar molecules such as water. This induction allows for the localization of positive and negative charges within the liquid. The presence of polar molecules facilitates the separation of charges, creating distinct regions of positive and negative charge. This phenomenon has implications for various scientific and industrial applications. Understanding charge localization in liquids can enhance the development of technologies that rely on electrochemical processes.

can a liquid be induced with charge i.e. Can we create sites of localisation of positive and negative charges in a liquid?

Definitely, if the liquid consists of polar molecules, like that in water.
