Question
To charge an electroscope negative
Answers
GPT 3.5
To charge an electroscope negative, you can do the following:
1. Rub a negatively charged object, such as a plastic rod rubbed with a piece of fur, against the metal cap of the electroscope. This will transfer electrons from the object to the metal cap, leaving the electroscope with a negative charge.
2. Alternatively, you can bring a negatively charged object close to the metal cap of the electroscope without touching it. The negative charges on the object will repel the electrons in the metal cap, leaving the electroscope with a negative charge.
These methods will charge the electroscope negative, causing the leaves to diverge due to the repulsion of like charges.
