Structure of Electroscope :
1. It is made up of a glass jar.
2. A vertical brass rod is inserted into the jar through a cork.
3. The top of the brass rod has a horizontal brass rod or a brass disc.
4. Two gold leaves are suspended from the brass rod inside the jar.
Working of Electroscope:
1. When the brass disc of the electroscope is touched by a charged object, electric charge
2. gets transferred to the gold leaf through the rod.
3. This results in the gold leaves moving away from each other.
4. This happens because both the leaves have similar charges.
