Its operation is based on the principle of electrostatic induction and like charge repulsion.
A gold leaf electroscope is used to detect.
How is the divergence of leaves affected when a glass rod rubbed with silk is rolled on the disc of electroscope.
It is a simple device to detect the presence of charge on any body.
A gold leaf type electroscope is a device used to detect the presence of electric charge on a body and its relative amount.
Two gold leaves are also attached at the bottom end of the rod.
Abraham bennet first described this version in 1787.
An electroscope is a device used to detect an electric charge.
A gold leaf electroscope is used for detecting electric charge present in a body and identifying its polarity.
It consists of a metal rod which is fitted in an insulating box.
Metal rod has a metal knob at its top.
Gold leaf electroscope.
Since electroscope is used to detect the presence of charge.
To determine if there is a charge on an object body or not and what kind of charge as well.
A gold leaf electroscope is given a positive charge so that its leaves diverge.
Gold leaf electroscope 1787 for centuries the electroscope was one of the most popular instruments used by scientists to study electricity.
