A postively charged rod touches an electrosope, giving it a net positive charge. The gold foil
leaves stay separated even after the rod is removed. Another rod, which is negatively
charged, is now brought close to the electrocope, but does not touch it. What is the
observed behavior of the electroscope?
The gold foil leaves get closer together.
The gold foil leaves get further apart.
The gold foil leaves do not move.
The response of the electroscope depends on whether the rod is a conductor or insulator.
