Is the charge induced on a conductor equal to or less than the inducing charge?

[BIT1749]

electrostatic induction...

when a conductor is charged by the method of induction,is its charge equal in magnitude to that of inducing charge or somewhat less?

I think they are equal since every single charge induces an opposite charge on the conductor.
The opposite charges on the conductor that correspond to those on the inducing material are assumed to be all earthed.
