What would you use to see if somthing is charged?
an electroscope is used to determine whether an object is charged or not. However, it will not tell if the object is positively or negatively charged.
What would happen if you touched a knob of positivly charged electroscope with another positivel charged object?
They repeal each other because they are each positively charged.
How can gold leaf electroscope be used to detect an electric charge?
In order to identify the charge of a body we should use a charged electroscope. Let us say the electroscope is negatively charged. Now bring the unknown charged body 'X' near the cap of the electroscope. If the leaves diverge more the charge in 'X' must be negative. Suppose that the leaves close a little when 'X' is brought near 'C', then 'X' may have a positive charge or it may not have any charge. In order to confirm the positive charge you must bring the rod 'X' near the cap of a positively charged electroscope. If the leaves diverge more, then 'X' has positive charge.
What makes an object positively or negatively charged?
Step one. Charge the electroscope by the induction method. A rod is used of opposite sign to that required on the electroscope . The rod is brought near to the cap so that the leaf diverges by the amount desired, and the electroscope is momentarily earthed by touching it with a finger. The rod is then removed, leaving the electroscope charged. (If the charged rod used is Benoite this leaves a positively charged electroscope, if a glass rod is used then the result is negatively charged electroscope) Step two Now use the object of unknown charge, A charge of the same kind as that on the electroscope will cause an increase while a charge of the opposite kind will cause a decrease in leaf divergence when the object is brought near to the electroscope. You must bring the object down from a good height, and move it slowly down towards the cap so any change in divergence will not be overlooked before the object becomes to close to the cap. Bringing the object down too quickly and too close to the cap could lead to a false reading. Source(s): A. F. Abott Ordinary Level Physics
An electroscope has been charged by induction with the help of a charged glass rod the charge on the electroscope will be?
negative
Attraction and repulsion?
Attraction and repulsion, in physics means, is when two objects attract and repel one another. For example, an When a negatively charged rod is brought near an electroscope with negatively charged leaves, the leaves will repel. Same goes for when a positively charged rod is brought near an electroscope with positively charged leaves, the leaves will repel. But if a negatively charged rod is brought near an electroscope with positively charged leaves, the leaves will attract. Kind of like opposites attract, and likeness repels.

Like charges repel. Unlike charges attract. Therefore, you would expect them to repel each other.

How can you identify that which plate of capacitor is positively charged?
FOR tESTING THE SIGN OF CHARGE ON BODY, a device called GOLD LEAF ELECTROSCOPE. When the disc of a positively charged is touched with any plate of the charge capacitor. IF the divergence of gold leaf increases, then the plate is positively charged and if the divergence in the leaf decrease then the plate of the capacitor is nagatively charged.

Name the kind of electroscope that can recognized to be charged just by observation?
Type your answer here... electroscope switch electroscope square
What type of instrument can detect the presence of an electrical charge?
a gold leaf electroscope. if initially charged negatively, the deflection of the leaf with respect to the electroscope is increased if a negatively charged object approaches the electroscope. conversely if a positively charged object approaches, the deflection is reduced. the angle of deflection is proportional to the magnitude of the charge.
