answer
K.C.S.E Physics Q & A - MODEL 2014PP2QN06
It is observed that when the cap of an uncharged electroscope is irradiated with light of high frequency, the leaf of the electroscope rises. Explain this observation.
answer
​ (a) Electrons absorb enough energy and are ejected leaving the electroscope positively charged the leaf is repelled by the stem.

​Figure 6 (a) shows three spherical balls of the same size placed on insulating stands. Balls A and B are conductors while ball C is non conductor. Ball A was initially charged as shown. The quantity of charge is represented by the number of dashes.
​Ball A is made to touch B momentarily and then C. Show on Figure 6(b), the final distribution of charge on the balls.
answer
K.C.S.E Physics Q & A - MODEL 1999PP1QN09
Figure 7 shows a sharp pin fixed on a cap of leaf electroscope. The electroscope is highly charged and then left for sometime.
Explain why the leaf collapses
ANSWER
You are provided with a charged electroscope, an insulator and a conductor. Describe how you would use these apparatus to distinguish in the insulator from the conductor (2 mks)
