Question

$\bold \color{magenta}{question : }$
I was doing a project for my school: electroscope. But when I take a charged PVC pipe nearer to the metal rod, the leaves don't repel.


Can you tell me why it's not repelling?

Answer 1

Answer:

If you bring a positive object near the electroscope, it will attract the electrons toward the terminal. The leaves will move away from each other. You can also use this process with a positive object to charge the electroscope.

Explanation:

that can be reason of not repel.

Answer 2

Answer:

here is your answer

Explanation:

No extra electrons were added to the electroscope, meaning that the electrons in the electroscope will redistribute when the negatively charged rod is taken away. The leaves return to neutral, and they stop repelling each other.
