Question

If a neutral metal rod is charged by 'conduction,' what must occur?
Options
A The rod must be held near a charged object without touching it.
B The rod must be connected to the ground while a charged object is near.
C The rod must come into physical contact with a charged object.
Correct Answer
D The rod must be rubbed with a nonconducting material like wood.
Correct Answer
