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.
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.
charged.
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.
An electroscope can be charged by conduction, where it is touched by a charged object transferring charge to the electroscope, or by induction, where a charged object is brought close to the electroscope causing charge separation within it. Additionally, an electroscope can also be charged by friction, where two objects are rubbed together transferring charge to the electroscope.
The process is called "charging by conduction." When you touch a charged balloon to the electroscope, electrons transfer from the balloon to the electroscope, causing the electroscope to become charged.

To determine if a metal leaf electroscope is neutral, bring a charged rod near the metal cap. If the metal leaves diverge, the electroscope is neutral. If the metal leaves collapse or diverge more, the electroscope is positively charged.

To use an electroscope to determine if an object is charged, first discharge the electroscope by grounding it. Next, bring the object close to the electroscope without touching it. If the leaves of the electroscope diverge, it indicates that the object is charged.
If a negatively charged rod touches a neutral electroscope, electrons will flow from the rod to the electroscope, causing the electroscope to become negatively charged. The leaves of the electroscope will repel each other, indicating a charge has been introduced.
If you touch the knob of a positively charged electroscope with a negatively charged object, the excess electrons from the negatively charged object will flow to the electroscope, neutralizing the positive charge. The electroscope will become neutral or slightly negatively charged as a result.
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.
The golden leaf electroscope can be charged positively by induction by first bringing a positively charged object close to the electroscope. The positive charges on the object attract the negative charges in the electroscope, causing the positive charges in the electroscope to be repelled to the leaves, thus giving the electroscope a positive charge.
