Gold Leaf Electroscope

The Gold Leaf Electroscope PH0916B is a reliable and practical instrument designed for demonstrating electrostatic principles in physics classrooms and laboratories. It allows users to clearly detect and observe static electric charge through the visible movement of gold leaves, making abstract concepts easier to understand.

Key Features

• Demonstrates conduction, induction, and electrostatic charge
• Clear glass panel for easy viewing and access
• Transparent internal scale to observe charge intensity
• Durable anodized aluminum construction for long term use
• Includes two gold leaf sheets
• Fitted with a standard 4mm socket

How It Works

When a charged object is brought near or into contact with the electroscope, the gold leaves inside the chamber repel each other. This provides a clear visual indication of static electricity in action.

The degree of leaf movement shows the relative strength of the charge, allowing easy comparison between different materials and experiments.

Designed for Classroom Use

This electroscope is built for repeated use in educational environments. The solid construction ensures durability, while the sliding glass panel allows quick and easy access during demonstrations.

It is ideal for teachers and students looking for a simple, effective way to explore electrostatics through hands on learning.
