Question

If plastic strips are placed in an electroscope at the place of aluminum strips, then:

  1. Divergence of strips will take place.
  2. No divergence of strips will take place.
  3. Partial divergence of strips will take place.
  4. Either [a] or [b]

hintHint:

No divergence

The correct answer is: No divergence of strips will take place.


    • If plastic strips are placed in an electroscope at the place of aluminum strips, no divergence of strips will take place.
    • Since, plastic is an insulator.
