Explanation:
When a charged object is brought near a neutral object without touching each other a charge arises on the neutral object. This method of charge development is known as induced charge.
On the other hand, when a charged object touches a neutral object and then the charged object is removed will lead to the development of a charge on the neutral object. This charge is known as residual charge.
Thus, we can conclude that when a charged body is brought close to an uncharged body without touching it, an induced charge may result on the uncharged body. When a charged body is brought into contact with an uncharged body and then is removed, a residual charge may result on the uncharged body.
