Pith Ball Electroscope Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Pith Ball Electroscope

Product Code : ILS-PLE-10198

Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Pith Ball Electroscope (Product ID: 10198) as part of its physics lab equipment range. It shows attraction and repulsion between charges using two light pith balls hanging on silk threads.

Quick Answer

Two pith balls hang on unspun silk from a hook on a chrome-plated brass pillar, which stands on a wooden base. Touching the balls with a charged rod gives them the same charge, so they swing apart; bringing a charged object near an uncharged ball first attracts it. The silk thread insulates the balls so they hold their charge during the demonstration.
