A positively-charged glass rod is touched to the plate of a neutral electroscope. Upon contact, the electroscope becomes charged and the needle deflects. Which of the following statements are true of the charged electroscope? The electroscope is now charged positively. The electroscope and the glass rod now have the same type of charge. The electroscope was charged by the method of induction. The electroscope gained protons during the charging process. The electroscope gained electrons during the charging process. The electroscope lost all of its electrons during the charging process. During the charging process, some electrons left the electroscope and entered the glass rod. The number of electrons present in the electroscope is less than the number of protons. The electroscope needle will deflect even more if the glass rod is brought near it again. The electroscope needle would slowly approach the neutral position if a negatively-charged balloon is brought near.
