your body is conducting the charge away from the electroscope, neutralizing the charge
When you touch the upper part of an electroscope with your hands, charge is transferred from your body to the electroscope, neutralizing the charge on the leaves. This causes the repulsive force between the like charges on the leaves to decrease, allowing the leaves to collapse.
When we touch a charged electroscope with our fingers, the excess charge on the electroscope is neutralized by our body, causing the electroscope to discharge and lose its charge. As a result, the leaves of the electroscope will collapse back together.
When you touch the disc of an electroscope with a charged metal rod, excess charge from the rod is transferred to the electroscope, causing the leaves to acquire the same charge and thus repel each other, collapsing as they move apart due to electrostatic repulsion. This redistribution of charge neutralizes the electroscope, making the leaves collapse.
The metal rod is a good conductor. Hence when we touch it will a charged electroscope,the repeling charges will flo through it and our body and reach th ground.so the charge disappears and the leaves collapse
No, charged body doesn't need to touch the ball. The presence of a charged body near the electroscope is enough to cause the leaves to diverge due to the transfer of charge.
You must touch a charged object to the metal rod of an electroscope because metal is a good conductor of electricity, allowing the charge to flow through it. The electrons from the charged object redistribute along the metal rod and into the leaves of the electroscope, causing them to repel. Rubber, on the other hand, is an insulator and does not allow the charge to flow.

The process is called "charging by conduction." When you touch a charged balloon to the electroscope, electrons transfer from the balloon to the electroscope, causing the electroscope to become charged.
Touching the charged object to the metal rod allows the electrons to transfer easily to the electroscope, causing the leaves to diverge due to like charges repelling. The rubber stopper acts as an insulator, preventing the transfer of charge effectively and resulting in no movement of the leaves.
You get an electric shock and this happens because the electroscope is charged and your body is good conductor of electricity.
If you touch a positively charged object to a positively charged electroscope, the electroscope may become even more positively charged due to the transfer of additional positive charge. This could result in greater divergence of the leaves of the electroscope, indicating a higher level of positive charge on the electroscope as a result of the contact with the positively charged object.
It is an electroscope. If you lightly touch the object to the electroscope, it either sticks it together or pops it apart if it is charged.
Rub the acetate strip against the paper towel to transfer electrons from the acetate strip to the paper towel, leaving the acetate strip positively charged. Touch the electroscope's metal knob with the positively charged acetate strip to transfer the positive charge to the electroscope. This will cause the electroscope's leaves to repel each other, indicating a positive charge.
If you touch the knob of a positively charged electroscope with a negatively charged object, the excess electrons from the negatively charged object will flow to the electroscope, neutralizing the positive charge. The electroscope will become neutral or slightly negatively charged as a result.
