GOLD LEAF ELECTROSCOPE || The primary purpose of the apparatus is to detect the presence of and measure the magnitude of a static electric charge. A charge is induced or conducted through the metal plate on the top of the device. The gold leaf mounts to the central rod and deflects due to the charge on the metal plate.
HANDS ON LEARNING || Eisco's gold leaf electroscope is perfect for a hands-on classroom experience. This electroscope is an excellent tool for discovering electrostatic principles such as conduction, induction, and coulomb repulsion.
INSTRUCTION MANUAL || Each electroscope includes detailed instructions outlining how to properly use the apparatus and troubleshooting tips.
PRODUCT DIMENSIONS || Fully assembled, the electroscope measures 6.5" x 3.75" x 2.75".
Eisco Labs Gold Leaf Electroscope
This gold leaf electroscope is great for hands on experience with electrostatic principles in physics classrooms and labs. The solidly constructed sheet anodized aluminum walls of the electroscope are mounted on a plastic base. Front glass window slides up to allow insertion of ionizing material in chamber. Transparent scale is attached inside chamber to measure the deflection of the gold leaf.
. Comes with two gold leaf sheets. Fitted with 4mm socket. Assembled, the electroscope measures 6.5 x 3.75 x 2.75 inches.
Note: The gold-leaf does not come pre-attached to the electroscope. Instructions on how to properly attach the gold-leaf to the conducting rod are included with the product manual.
