The strips of an electroscope diverge

Question:

The strips of an electroscope diverge when a charged body is brought in contact with the metal clip. Now the clip is touched gently by our hand. What

will happen to the strips? Explain.

Solution:

If we touch the strip standing on the ground (not on any insulating base), then the charge on the strip will pass through our hand to the ground and

the strips will contract.
