Electroscopes can be used to detect electronic charges and when a electroscope is given negative charges they repel each other and spread apart. They will remain apart until their electrons have somewhere to go and it combines with positive charges. When nuclear radiation is moving through the air it can remove electrons from some molecules In the air and cause other molecules in the air to gain electrons. - B0N3S

An electroscope has been charged by induction with the help of a charged glass rod the charge on the electroscope will be?
negative
If a postivively charged rod is brought near the knob of a positively charged electroscope the leaves of the electroscope will?
separate further
What happens to the leaves of an electroscope that is not charged?
They hang limp.
Why do the leaves of an electroscope spead apart when a charged object touches the metal knob?
The charged object charges both leaves of the electroscope with like charges and like charges repel.
What are the uses for an electroscope?
The electroscope is an instrument for detecting an electric charge by measuring mechanical forces between two charged bodies.
An electroscope has been charged by induction with the help of a charged glass rod the charge on the electroscope will be?
negative
If a postivively charged rod is brought near the knob of a positively charged electroscope the leaves of the electroscope will?

Name the kind of electroscope that can recognized to be charged just by observation?
Type your answer here... electroscope switch electroscope square
What devise can you use to see if something is charged?
It is an electroscope. If you lightly touch the object to the electroscope, it either sticks it together or pops it apart if it is charged.
What if the electroscope leaves hang down?
they are not charged
What device is used to see if something is charged?
electroscope
What would you use to see if something is charged?
an Electroscope
What happens to leaves of an electroscope that is not charged?
They hang limp.
What device can you use to see if something is charged?
electroscope
What happens to the leaves of an electroscope that is not charged?

Why do the leaves of an electroscope spead apart when a charged object touches the metal knob?
The charged object charges both leaves of the electroscope with like charges and like charges repel.
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.
