How can you tell the difference between a positively charged object and a negativly charged object by using an electroscope?

A positively charged object will cause the leaves of the electroscope to separate or diverge. A negatively charged object will cause the leaves to come together or converge.


How can you tell that an electroscope is charged?

You can tell that an electroscope is charged by observing the divergence of the leaves. If the leaves spread apart after bringing a charged object close to the electroscope, it indicates that the electroscope has acquired a charge.


What would you use to see if somthing is charged?

You can use an electroscope to see if something is charged. When a charged object is brought near the electroscope, the leaves of the electroscope will either repel or attract each other, indicating the presence of a charge.


What changes when you can tell that an object has been moved?

When you can tell that an object has been moved, the position of the object has changed relative to its original location, indicating that someone or something has interacted with it. This change in location can affect the overall organization of the space, creating a potential disturbance in the environment.


How can you tell whether an electric field is present?

Depends on the electrical field, but the most common way to tell is the metallic smell of ionized oxygen or ozone, a tingly feel on the skin, and hair standing on end. But that's only for strong electric fields. For weak electric fields the use of a some sort of meter is required.

What is a example of the effect of negatively charged object on positively charged object?

In practical life , it is not possible to identify the negative and positive charges.The positive and negative charges are identified only experimentally.So, practical example of this is not possible.But I can tell that a negatively charged object and positively charged object attract each other.for A+ lost electrons

What are the 3 ways of motion?

The 1 way you can tell an object is in motion is by having a focus point that does not move and watch and see if the object you are looking for is moving. Another way to notice where the object is now, then later, check and see if the object has been moving. lastly, if you are a scientist, you can use telescopes, computers, and the latest gadgets to tell you if an object is in motion.
