Q1 . Why does it happen when we touch the dise with our hand, the gold leaves in electroscope collapse ?

Ans = 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

Explanation:

☠️Answer☠️

Since each leaf has the same charge ( positive or negative ) , they repel each other. When the end of the paper clip of the electroscope is touched by hands the charge on foil strips gets discharged through the body as we touch the paper clip of the electroscope by hands, hence the foil strips collapse.
