will happen? pls answer

Answer 1

Answer:

When we will replace aluminum strip with plastic strip electroscope will not work.

Explanation:

If the metal clip used in the electroscope is replaced by an ebonite rod and a charged body is brought in contact with it, therefore, there will be no charge on the aluminum strips and no repulsion of the strips will occur.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Electroscope will not work, and we'll not be able to detect of an object have acquired charge or not

Explanation:

as the aluminium strip has been replaced by plastic strip, the transfer of charges does not take place. Because, the charge of the charged body has been transferred to the metal clip (pov: Metal clip is good conductor of electricity) and the charge from the metal clip will not get transferred to the plastic strip as it's a bad conductor or an insulator.

thank You
