dear aditya,

Induced charge is Electric current which originates in a conductor by use of a fluctuating magnetic field around the conductor.

As simple as it is!

charge in a current carrying conducter can be explained as:

A current-carrying conductor is electrically neutral since the number of positive and negative charge remains the same even if the electrons are in motion.

The number of electrons leaving the conductor is compensated by the number of electrons entering the conductor from the battery.

In case of a circuit that has an alternating source across a capacitor,then the capacitor is likely to be charged.However in case of a direct current through a resistor, the current-carrying conductor is electrically neutral.

hope you got your answer.

thank you :)
