Answer

In charging by conduction method, the conductor to be charged is touched or brought in contact with a charged body. The conductor gets charged by the similar kind of charge as on the charging body.

Method of charging

Suppose we want to charge a metal rod A with a positive charge.

  1. Take the metal rod A and place it on an insulating stand.
  2. Take a positively charged glass rod B provided with an insulating handle and touch it with the metal rod A as shown in the figure below. Some positive charge of the glass rod B is shared by the metal rod A.
  3. Remove the glass rod B.
  4. The rod A gets positively charged.
