Answer:
If a positively charged rod is brought near a neutral sphere, but not touched, the positive charges on the rod attract the negative charges and repel the positive charges on the sphere to the other side of the sphere.
Explanation:
This attractive and repulsive force comes from the Coulomb's Law.
As a result, the side of the sphere close to the rod is charged negatively, and the other side is charged positively.
Question: A positively charged rod is brought near two neutral spheres in order to charge the sphere by induction. What will happen to the charges?
Answer: The electrons will be attracted to the rod.
