It consists of a vertical metal rod, usually brass, from the end of which hang two parallel strips of thin flexible gold leaf. ... This is because some of the charge on the object is conducted through the terminal and metal rod to the leaves. Since they receive the same sign charge they repel each other and thus diverge.
