Question

What is the purpose of an electroscope?

  1. To detect and test small electric charges.
  2. To calculate the amount of electric charge flowing through the conductor
  3. To find out the presence of antimatter
  4. To test the presence of a magnetic field

hintHint:

Electroscope can detect and test small electric charges.

The correct answer is: To detect and test small electric charges.


    • An electroscope is a device used to detect the presence of small charge electric charge on a body.
    • It detects whether the body is charged or uncharged.
