Product Overview
This high-sensitivity electroscope detects even minute electric charges that standard models may miss. It features a precision-mounted gold leaf suspended from a support rod insulated by a thick Teflon bushing, ensuring excellent charge isolation. Housed in a durable plastic case with front and rear glass windows for clear visibility, it includes a graduated scale (0–90°) to measure leaf deflection accurately. A ground terminal minimizes interference from stray charges on the enclosure.
Supplied with an interchangeable conducting sphere and a low-leakage capacitor plate mounted on a 4 mm banana plug, the electroscope is ready for both qualitative and semi-quantitative experiments. Compatible with the electrophorus kit for demonstrating electrostatic induction and capacitor action. Replacement gold leaves available in sets of 3.
