Match the definitions to the correct terms.

Draggable itemCorresponding Item
The neutral body is charged by a charged body through direct contact with the charged body.
conduction
The neutral body is charged without any direct contact with the charged body.
induction
When a charged object is brought near an uncharged object, causing the electrons in the uncharged object to move to one side, creating two oppositely charged ends.
polarization
The process of removing the excess charge on an object by means of the transfer of electrons between it and another object of substantial size, or with the earth.
