Question

Briefly, explain how the charge can be detected with the help of an electroscope.

Answer 1

Answer:

An electroscope is a device that detects static electricity by using thin metal or plastic leaves, which separate when charged. ... Electrical charges move to the metal and down to the foil leaves, which then repel each other. Since each leaf has the same charge (positive or negative), they repel each other.

Answer 2

Answer:

Here is the answer. Pls mark as brainliest

Explanation:

An electroscope is an early scientific instrument used to detect the presence of electric charge on a body. It detects charge by the movement of a test object due to the Coulomb electrostatic force on it. The amount of charge on an object is proportional to its voltage.
