Yes, when the charge on one body Q is much greater than that on the other q and they are close enough to each other so that force of attraction between Q and induced charge on the other exceeds the force of repulsion between Q and q.
However, two similar point charges can never attract each other because no induction will take place here.

Human Ear
Last modified on:4 years agoReading Time:3MinutesHuman Ear The human ear, like that of other mammals, contains sense organs that serve two quite different functions: that of hearing and that of head and eye movements. Anatomically, the ear has three distinguishable parts: the outer, middle, and inner ear. How Human Ear Works? Different sounds produced in our surroundings are collected by…

Electric Field Lines
Last modified on:3 years agoReading Time:5MinutesElectric Field Lines Electric charges create an electric field in the space surrounding them. It is useful to have a kind of “map” that gives the direction and indicates the strength of the field at various places. Field lines, a concept introduced by Michael Faraday, provide us with an easy way…

Electric Field of a Line Charge
Last modified on:3 years agoReading Time:3MinutesElectric Field of a Line Charge Positive charge q is distributed uniformly along a line with length 2a, lying along the y-axis between y=–a and y=+a. We are here interested in finding the electric field at point P on the x-axis. Derivation of electric field due to a line charge: Thus,…

Conceptual Questions Based On Electronics Devices
Last modified on:5 years agoReading Time:21MinutesQ.1. The resistance of the pn junction is low when forward biased and is high when it is reverse biased. Explain.Answer: The resistance of pn junction is low when it is forward biased because force acts on charge carriers to move them across the junction whereas the force in reverse biasing…

Conceptual Questions Based On Electric Potential
Last modified on:5 years agoReading Time:10MinutesQ.1. Why earth is considered to be at zero potential?Answer: Earth has very large size. Potential of earth does not change with small charge therefore it is considered as reference level and potential taken as zero. Q.2. If electric potential V within a certain region is constant, what is the nature…
