As in the video, we apply a charge +QQ to the half-shell that carries the electroscope. This time, we also apply a charge -QQ to the other half-shell. When we bring the two halves together, we observe that the electroscope discharges, just as in the video. What does the electroscope needle do when you separate the two half-shells again? - It does not deflect at all. - It deflects more than it did at the end of the video. - It deflects the same amount as at end of the video. - It deflects less than it did at the end of the video.

It does not deflect at all.
