Question

*Why does it happen when we touch the disc with our hand, the gold leaves in electroscope collapse ?*

1️⃣ The charge in the leaves goes into the earth through our body.
2️⃣ The charge in our body goes into leaf.
3️⃣ Disc is made up of metal.
4️⃣ The positive charge is generated in the leaves.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The leaves of an electroscope collapse as soon as we touch the metal cap with hand because the leaves of the charged electroscope lose charge to the earth through our body. This process is known as EARTHING

Answer 2

Answer:

1) The charge in the leaves goes into the earth through our body

Explanation:

• Explanation: If a charged body (for example, ebonite rod) is touched to the metal disc of the gold-leaf electroscope, the metal strips of the electroscope gets charged by conduction. They repel each other and open up. ... We need to touch the charged body to the metal disc of the electroscope.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       hope it will help you...
