Comparison Chart
| Basis for Comparison | Conduction | Induction |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | It results in the flow of current due to the electric field. | It results in the flow of current due to changes in the magnetic field. |
| Arrangement of conductors | It requires direct contact between charged and uncharged conductors. | No direct contact is required between charged and uncharged bodies. |
| Direction of current | The current in both the conductors flows in the same direction. | The induced current is opposite in direction as that of actual current. |
| Gradient path | Due to the transferring nature of charges, a gradient path is required. | Due to the inducing nature of charges, a gradient path is not required. |
| Amount of charge | Decreases, due to distribution of charges. | Remains constant |
