Question

Do the leaves of an electroscope always diverge to the same extent when a charged body is brought in contact with its disc?

Answer 1

Not all, the divergence of the leaves of an electron microscope depends on the amount of charge that is brought in contact with its disc. The more the charge, the greater the divergence will be while the lesser the charge, the smaller the divergence will be.

Answer 2

No, the leaves of the gold-leaf electroscope do not always diverge to the same extent. The divergence between the leaves depends on the amount of charge that is brought in contact with the disc of the electroscope. If the charge will be more then the divergence will be more and if the charge will be less then the divergence will be also less.
