I have a gold leaf electroscope which works very well the first time. After thus it stopped working.
Even when the gold leaf moves, it moves very less. How to fix this?

$\begingroup$ When the leaf moves to a new position does it stay there or does the leaf fall over time? $\endgroup$Farcher– Farcher2025-11-14 08:47:30 +00:00Commented Nov 14 at 8:47

$\begingroup$ Check whether the insulation has deteriorated so that the electroscope cannot hold the charge. This could, e.g., happen by moisture transferred by sweaty hands. $\endgroup$freecharly– freecharly2025-11-14 15:53:06 +00:00Commented Nov 14 at 15:53
