Question

A positively charged body is brought near an uncharged electroscope, then:

  1. No charge is induced in the leaves.
  2. The positive charge is induced in both the leaves.
  3. The negative charge is induced in both the leaves.
  4. The positive charge is induced in one leaf and negative in the other

hintHint:

Positive charge is induced in both the leaves.

The correct answer is: The positive charge is induced in both the leaves.


    • A positively charged body is brought near an uncharged electroscope, then the positive charge is induced in both the leaves.
    • Since, charge transfer happens from the body to the leaves.
