What kind of charge the electroscope can detect?

The sphere of an electroscope is always neutral at first. Let's say a negative ebonite rod is brought close but not touching the sphere. (The entire electroscope is neutral). The electrons in the electroscope will want to repell the electrons in the rod so the electrons in the electroscope move down into the 2 leaves and then repell because there is a high concentration of negatives. When the ebonite rod is removed, the leaves go back to their straight position. The electroscope is always neutral but only a charge distibution occured. The number of protons and electrons remain the same. However if a charged rod touches the sphere then the electroscope will be charged because it a conductor and the charge from the rod transfers to the electroscope because the rod's caharges want to attarct to the electroscope's opposite charges. This is called charging by contact.


Describe why a charged electroscope will discharge when placed near a radioactive material?

1. Electroscopes can be used to detect electronic charges and when a electroscope is given negative charges they repel each other and spread apart. They will remain apart until their electrons have somewhere to go and it combines with positive charges. When nuclear radiation is moving through the air it can remove electrons from some molecules In the air and cause other molecules in the air to gain electrons. - B0N3S

Remain in the positively charged body.


How can a inductor remain charged?

It will not remain "charged" for long. The speed of collapse of the magnetic field is related to the inductance, in Henries. A (physically) large inductor will retain energy for longer. (note that there is no "charge")

How long does a DUI remain on an FBI check?

If you were charged criminally it will always remain on your record (I am uncertain as to whether a criminal DUI offense can be expunged or not - you would have to check on this) - if it was charged as a traffic offense it WILL always remain on your driving record. Your driving record is a COMPLETE history of your driving life and does NOT go away.


Did the person being arrested have the right to remain silent?

It depends on the circumstance. An individual, generally, has the right to remain silent to all circumstantial or incriminating questions. However, citizens are obligated to answer certain questions on an officer's demand. If the officer were to ask the individual "Who are you", or "What is your name", the individual is obligated to answer. Otherwise, they can be charged with additional crimes.
