About This Product
A pith ball electroscope shows whether an object carries electric charge. A light pith ball hangs from a thread, and a charged rod brought near it makes the ball move. Two balls charged by the same rod push apart, which shows that like charges repel, while a ball and a rod with opposite charges attract. Students use it to test rods rubbed with cloth and to learn how static charges behave. The Electroscope Pith Ball can be supplied for export orders from Madagascar, Bolivia, Solomon Islands, Rwanda and Moldova.
