When a negatively charged rod is brought near the cap of a golds leaf electroscope whose case is earthed, then what will happen to the leaves?
When a negatively charged rod is brought near the cap of a gold leaf electroscope whose case is earthed, then due to induction effect the charges are induced on the gold leaf which are of same sign so they start repeling each other!
Both of the leaves get positive charge, and as we know that like cahrges repel each other, that is what exactly happening there.
