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
The divergence of leaves will not be affected
The leaves will diverge further
The leaves will collapse
The leaves will melt
What was found by Thales of Miletus ?
The minimum charge on an object is
Five balls numbered $1$ to $5$ are suspended using separate threads. Pairs $(1, 2)$, $(2, 4)$ and $(4, 1)$ show electrostatic attraction, while pair $(2, 3)$ and $(4, 5)$ show repulsion. Therefore ball $1$ must be
How can object be charged with contact ?
The charge on $500\,cc$ of water due to protons will be
