About This Product
This electroscope is used to explore electrostatic principles in physics classrooms and labs. The gold leaf does not come attached to the conducting rod; the product manual explains how to fit it. A front glass window slides up to admit ionising material into the chamber, and the transparent scale lets the deflection of the leaf be measured.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Does the gold leaf come fitted? No. The gold leaf is not pre-attached. Instructions for attaching it to the conducting rod are included with the product manual.
Q2. Can the gold leaf be replaced? Yes. Replacement gold leaf is available to purchase separately.
