Charging Insulators

Physics Asked on April 13, 2021

Can insulators like plastics be charged with the help of conduction? What happens when such materials are brought in contact with charged bodies that might be conductor or insulator?

One Answer

No , it's not possible to charge insulators by conduction.

If an insulator is brought close to a charged body or vice a versa the atoms of insulator will become elongated kinda like dipole induced forces.
