LEAF ELECTROSCOPE
-
Description
A classical instrument measure static charges. Simple
and functional, Leaf Electroscope allows us to
measure the amount of excessive electric charges of
one sign over the other. Place a dielectric material to
induce or bank charges on top of the electroscope box
and observe a permanent or temporary displacement
of the thin metallic leaf from the vertical metal rod.
If you introduce a charge on the metal cap of the
electroscope, you will see the displacement of the
leaf.
