Question

What happens when a positively charged body is brought in contact with the disc of uncharged electroscope

Answer 1

When a positively charged body is brought in contact with a disc of uncharged electroscope then the charge is distributed.

• When a charged object touches the disk, the charge distributes on both the electroscope plates. Since both strips are charged equally, they repel and create a difference between the two strips.
• When a negative object is put close to the electroscope, it will repel the electrons in the scope to the leaves, balancing the charge. The strips are going to move towards each other. It will draw the electrons to the terminal when you bring a positive object to the electroscope.

Answer 2

Answer:

in explanation

Explanation:

When the negatively charged body is brought in contact with disc, the strips of electroscope diverges, this shows that the charge on electroscope is negative. ... So, if we brought the positively charged body in contact with disc, the divergence of the strips decreases
