Question

how gold leaf electroscope is used for transfer of charge

Answer 1

written by touching the brass disc of the electroscope with a positively or negatively charged body. The leaves the same charges on the charged body and never let us assume that the electroscope is negatively charged bring the body close to brass disk of electroscope. If the divergence of the leaves divergence increases it has the same charge of electroscope that is negative in this case if the divergence decreases it has the opposite start as on a electroscope that is positive in case.

• Charge negatively the gold leaf electroscope by conduction i.e. To detect the kind of charge by a positively charged gold leaf electroscope touching the disc of GL.E. with – vely charged ebonite rod. The leaves diverge (because of repulsion) Note the divergence as show in figure (A).
• Bring a charged body to be tested in contact with disc. If divergence in leaves increase, it has similar charge i.e. negative as shown in figure (B)
• If divergence decrease, the body has opposite charge i.e. positive charge as shown in figure (C).
