O plastic strips will converge and stick together O plastic strips will diverge due to repulsion O Divergence of strips will not take place 2 < Q​

Answer 1

Explanation:

When we will replace the aluminium strip with a 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 aluminium strips and no repulsion of the strips will occur.
