How would you determine the sign of a charge on a body using an electroscope? PLEASE HELP!!!

Now the electroscope will allow you to identify whether an object is positively or negatively charged. If you bring a negative object near the electroscope, the electrons in the scope will be repelled toward the leaves, balancing the charge.

Explanation:

The electrostatic force obeys the principle of linear super-position which basically states

that force between two particles does not get affected by the charge of the other and hence if the

rod is brought close to a suspended metal needle and is getting attracted then needle definitely

should possess opposite charge relative to the rod or basically negative charge as opposite charges

attract.

(b) In case the needle which is brought near the sus[ended needle and gets repelled that shows that

both of them possess same charge and hence positive charge on both objects and will start

repelling each other.
