Charge would flow from the charged electroscope to the initially uncharged one,

until the charges are equal on both. At that point, the potential on both ends of

the wire would be equal, there would be no voltage across the wire, and no more

current would flow. Both electroscopes would then be charged, with charge of

the same sign, and with half as much charge as the initially-charged one had.

What happens when you touch a charge electroscope and why?

You get an electric shock and this happens because the electroscope is charged and your body is good conductor of electricity.

It becomes charged. (negatively)

What happens to the force between charged and uncharged objects as the distance between them decreases?

there is an electric shock when the charge transfers


What can happen when an charged object can be brought near an uncharged object?

A neutrally charged object can still be affected by a charged object. If a neutrally charged object is being approached by a negatively charged objects, the electrons within the neutrally charged object will migrate to the other side (as the two negative charges repel), leaving the side closes to the negative object positive. Protons do not move. From there, the protons are attracted to the electrons, therefore moving the 'uncharged' object.


What happens to the force between charged and uncharged objects as the distance between them increased?

as the distance is increased statically induced charge in the uncharged object reduced to a minimum. Thus coulombic force which is directly proportional to the product of the charges tends to 0.


What happens when charged object are brought near uncharged objects?

the electric-charge interaction occurs when a''charge'' object is near another ''charge'' or ''uncharde''object


What happens to the force exerted between charged and uncharged objects as the distance increases between them?

As the distance is increased, statically induced charge in the uncharged object is reduced to a minimum. Thus coulombic force which is directly proportional to the product of the charges tends to 0
