Charging by Induction

 Charging through induction is the process where an item is charged without touching each other. This could happen by taking a negatively charged item and moving it to one of 2 sphere balls on an insulating stand(this is necessary because the ground neutralizes charges), the neutral charged sphere will move to the other charged sphere due to the negative charge repelling from the balloon's negative charge. The negative charge of the sphere will move to the other sphere, the two spheres will then become opposite charges. 


The same thing happens when the balloon is positively charged but instead of sphere 1 losing its negative charge, its sphere 2 who loses it. Another way of explaining induction is when a magnet is pushed in and out of a metal coil, the metal coil will be charged and can be hooked up to a light. The speed of the push and pull, the magnet's power and the coil's number of spiral play a big role in this. The more of the above is present, the more electricity will generate.
