A positively charged rod is brought near...

A positively charged rod is brought near to a non-conducting object. The rod is attracted to the object. From this observation. We can't predict whether the object is charged or uncharged. Some additional experments have been performed to identify whether the object is charged or uncharged, these experiments with their observations and conclusions drawn are given. Select the option in which conclusion drawn is correct.

A

A negatively charged rod is brought near to object and the two attract, this shows that the object is neutral.

B

A negatively charged rod is brought near to object and two repel, this shows that the object is negatively charged.

C

A neutral rod is brought near to object and two attract, this shows that the object is negatively charged.

D

All of the above

An electroscope is given a positive charge, causing its foil leaves to separate. When an object is brought near the top plate of the electroscope, the fiols separated even further. We conclude.

A leaf electroscope is a simple apparatus to detect any charge on a body. It consist of two metal leaves OA and OB, free to rotate about O. Initially both are very slighty separted. When a charged object is touched to the metal knob at the top of the conduction re, charge flows from knob to the top of the conduction rod, charge flows from knob to the leaves through the conducting rod, charge flows from knob to the leaves through the conduction rod. As the leaves are now charged similarly, they start repelling each other and tet separted (deflected by certain angle). The angle of deflection in static equilibrium is an indicator of the amount of charge on the charged boy. If we perform these steps one by one. In which case, the leaves will converge (come closer), as compared to the previous state?
