induction
Static electricity is a non contact force because : Whether an object is charged by conduction or induction or even by friction they acquire a charge and the objects acquire opposite charge in induction and friction but same charge in conduction. So when the charged body is brought near an uncharged body if they have opposite charge they will be attracted towards the charged body due to the movement of ionic particles.
Nothing happens. The gold leaves just continue to hang there limply.
This phenomenon is known as electrostatic induction.

well if two bodies negatively charged are brought near each other, then there is a strong force of repulsion, as the electrostatic lines of forces terminate at these bodies, they exert later pressure on each other, hence the bodies repeal each other

By bringing a charged ball into contact with two others, the charges will equalize across all three balls. Electrons will stream off the two previously uncharged balls (assuming they were), and will reduce the positive charge on the first ball. This will leave the other balls positively charged. All three balls will be charged to some extent, and, though there will be differences on the charges on the balls, there should be no difference in voltage between the balls. Bringing them back into contact will not (should not) result in any more charge movement.
they will loose electrons
