How can you tell that an electroscope has an electrical charge? can you tell from an electroscope alone what kind of charge it h
as?

Answer:
An electroscope is a device which used to detect charge on an object. It consists of conducting sphere at top with a metal rod and metal leaves. This is enclosed in a glass jar. A charged object is brought near the top of the electroscope. this causes electrons to transfer to or from the charged object.
If the electroscope has charge, the leaves repel each other and move away from each other. This is because charge conducts from the metallic sphere through rod to both leaves. Having same charge, the leaves repel each other and open up. No change occurs in neutral state.
We cannot tell from an electroscope alone what kind of charge it has because the leaves have like charges and hence repel each other whether it is positive or negative charge. Thus, we cannot differentiate the charge.

We use the formula,
Here, h is the variable represents the height of the flare in feet when it returns to the sea so, h = 0 and u is the initial velocity of the flare, in feet per second and its value of 192 ft/sec.
Substituting these values in above equation, we get
.
Here, t= 0 neglect because it is the time when the flare is launched.
Thus, flare return to the sea in 12 s.
Answer:
The maximum potential difference is 186.02 x 10¹⁵ V
Explanation:
formula for calculating maximum potential difference
where;
Ke is coulomb's constant = 8.99 x 10⁹ Nm²/c²
k is the dielectric constant = 2.3
b is the outer radius of the conductor = 3 mm
a is the inner radius of the conductor = 0.8 mm
λ is the linear charge density = 18 x 10⁶ V/m
Substitute in these values in the above equation;
Therefore, the maximum potential difference this cable can withstand is 186.02 x 10¹⁵ V
