Question

Why deflection between two gold leaf electroplate of a electroscope
remain same if we measure the outer surface of a conductor As we
know that surface of a conductor is equipotential plane But the
charge on the conductor differ from point to point

Dear student
question is unclear but assuming asking about separation between
plates as the plane is equipotential the net electric field is zero
hence the separation remains constant
