A simple electroscope consists of a glass jar resting on a wooden base. It is closed with an ebonite stopper having a hole. A brass rod passes through this hole. Two gold leaves are attached to the lower end of  the rod. A brass knob or disc is attached to the upper end of the rod. The glass vessels protects the gold leaves from air currents. Two strips of tin foils are fixed inside the bell jar facing the gold leaves. When the electroscope is in use, the metal foil is connected to the earth.

Answer:

The 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.
