Description
Gold leaf electroscope, illustration. When an electroscope is not electrically charged and there are no charged objects nearby, the two golden leaves (yellow) hang loosely at the end of the metal rod. When a charged object (such as a positively charged rod) is brought close to the circular terminal, the charges in the electroscope separate (electrostatic induction), causing the leaves to repel each other and spread apart.
