Answer:
An electroscope is an early scientific instrument that is used to detect the presence and magnitude of electric charge on a body. It was the first electrical measuring instrument.
An electroscope consists of a vertical metal rod from which two parallel strips of gold leaf hang down. The gold leaves are enclosed in a glass bottle to protect them from drafts of air.
When the metal rod is touched with a conductive charged object the gold leaves spread apart in a V. This is because the charge on the object is conducted through the metal rod to the leaves. Since they receive the same sign charge they repel each other and spread apart.
Answer:
a device that can be used to tell whether an object is carrying charge or not is called electroscope. it is basically like a jar with a safety clip(opened) having an aluminium strip on it. if we bring charged object toward it, aluminium strip diverges. on bringing uncharged object close to it it show no effect.Electroscope is a device which is use to detect whether a body is carrying charge and also to detect the nature of charge on the body.
