Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
When a positively charged body is brought in contact with the cap of gold leaf electroscope, the charge flows from the body to the strips through the conducting rod (brass rod), and hence, both the strips acquire same positive charge. Due to the presence of the like charges on strips, they will repel each other. When we remove the body from contact, the strips will remain apart.
