(N/A) body can be charged in three main ways:
$(1)$ Charging by friction: When two neutral bodies are rubbed against each other,electrons are transferred from one body to another,resulting in equal and opposite charges.
$(2)$ Charging by conduction: When a charged body is brought into physical contact with an uncharged body,charge is transferred from the charged body to the uncharged body.
$(3)$ Charging by induction: When a charged body is brought near an uncharged body without making physical contact,the charges in the uncharged body are redistributed,and it becomes charged.
