A glass rod rubbed with silk is used to charge a gold leaf electroscope and the leaves are observed to diverge. The electroscope thus charged is exposed to X-rays for a short period. Then
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Charge on glass rod is positive, so charge on gold leaves will also be positive. Due to X-rays, more electrons from leaves will be emitted, so leaves becomes more positive and diverge further.
