About This Product
A gold leaf electroscope shows whether an object is electrically charged. When a charged object touches or is brought near the metal disc, the plate and the leaf take like charges and the leaf rises away from the plate, and a larger charge gives a larger rise. It is used to show charging by friction and by induction, and to test whether a material is a conductor or an insulator. School Lab Equipment India supplies the Gold Leaf Electroscope across India and can export it to Morocco, Panama, Italy, Togo, Paraguay and Portugal.
