When an isolated conductor is placed in the vicinity of a positive charge?

When an isolated conductor is placed in the vicinity of a positive charge, it undergoes electrostatic induction: because of the presence of the near positive charge, the charges on the conductor redistribute, such that the negative charges move on the side of the conductor closer to the positive charge (because opposite-sign charges attract each other), while the positive charges of the conductor are repelled to the opposite side of the conductor (because same-sign charges repel each other)
