Describe a Faraday ice pail? What happens if I place a charged object into the pail?

Can someone explain. Thank you!!

if i were to guess, it would probably create a current flow in the pail?

an electric charge enclosed inside a conducting shell induces an equal charge on the shell, and that in an electrically conducting body, the charge resides entirely on the surface.
