negative
The electroscope will acquire a charge that is opposite in sign to that of the charged glass rod. This is because during induction, the charge separation in the electroscope causes an attraction of opposite charges. The electroscope will acquire the same magnitude of charge as the glass rod, but with an opposite sign.
An electroscope can be charged by friction through the process of rubbing a charged object, such as a glass rod or a piece of fur, against the top metal cap of the electroscope. This transfers some of the charge from the object to the electroscope, causing a redistribution of charges within the electroscope's metal leaves.
When the glass rod is rubbed with a cloth, it acquires a positive charge by gaining electrons. When the charged glass rod is brought close to the pith ball, the negative charges in the pith ball are repelled, causing the pith ball to become positively charged by induction.
An object becomes positively charged when it loses electrons, leaving it with more protons than electrons. Conversely, an object becomes negatively charged when it gains electrons, resulting in more electrons than protons. Charge is determined by the imbalance of protons and electrons in an object.
A glass jar is used in a gold leaf electroscope to prevent interference from external electric fields and to protect the delicate components inside from dust and moisture. The glass jar acts as an insulator to maintain the charge on the gold leaf and reduce the chances of the electroscope discharging prematurely.
The metal leaf electroscope is a simple device used to detect the presence of electric charges. It consists of two thin metal leaves attached to a metal rod within a glass enclosure. When a charged object is brought close to the metal rod, the like charges repel the leaves, causing them to diverge and indicate the presence of an electric charge.

Not necessarily. If a body has the same charge as a glass rod (negative), it means the body is negatively charged. The charge is determined by the excess or deficit of electrons on the body.
When a glass rod is rubbed, it acquires a positive static charge. The small bits of paper become negatively charged by induction when the positively charged glass rod is brought nearby. Opposite charges attract, causing the paper bits to be attracted to the rod.
If charge on the balloon is induced due to the charge of the glass rod then there will be opposite charge and so balloon gets attracted by the rod. Unlike charges do attract each other
The gold leaf electroscope was invented by Abraham Bennet in 1787. It is a simple device used to detect electric charge.
The glass rod becomes positively charged because it loses electrons when rubbed with silk. This creates an imbalance of positive charge, as the glass atoms are left with more protons (positive charge) than electrons (negative charge).
