Answer 2

Explanation:

An electroscope is an early scientific instrument used to detect the presence of electric charge on a body. It detects charge by the movement of a test object due to the Coulomb electrostatic force on it. The amount of charge on an object is proportional to its voltage.

A gold-leaf type electroscope is a device used to detect the presence of electric charge on a body and its relative amount. The electroscope is usually constructed with a metal plate or sphere at the top of a metal post (electrode) with thin foil leaves (e.g., gold) hanging from the bottom of the post.
