The electroscope has no overall charge.
The gold leaf has a very small mass and can bend very easily.
The student brings a negatively charged plastic strip near to the cap of
the electroscope.
The gold leaf bends away from the metal rod.
Which diagram shows the way that electric charge is now distributed?
