An instrument for detecting the presence of electricity, or changes in the electric state of bodies, or the species of electricity present, as by means of pith balls, and the like.
a simple device for indicating the presence of net electrical charge.
a device for determining the presence of electric charge.
A device for detecting the presence of static electricity.
A device that enables you to determine if two objects have opposite or like charges. By following the instructions in the Patterns in Nature course, you can construct an electroscope.
measuring instrument that detects electric charge; two gold leaves diverge owing to repulsion of charges with like sign
a charge-detecting device which depicts the presence of a charge on the apparatus itself or upon other objects in the nearby vicinity
a common demonstration apparatus used by physics teachers to illustrate electrostatic principles of charging and charge interactions
a device that contains two strips of metal foil, called leaves, that hang from one end of a metal rod
a device that is used to demonstrate properties of static electricty
a device used to detect the presence of charge and it's relative amount
a device which is capable of detecting the presence of a charged object
a device with a metal knob, a metal stem, and freely hanging metal leaves used to detect charges
an instrument that detects charges on objects that have been charged by static electricity
a simple apparatus used in some of the demonstrations of static electricity given in undergraduate physics courses
a skilled instrument that, through practice can allow the user to cover more potentially lucrative ground in less time thus increasing the chance of making a recovery
a somewhat cruder charge measuring device than an electrometer, and consists of two gold leaves, hinged at the top, in place of the metal plate and the single leaf
A general name for instruments which detect the presence of (but do not necessarily measure) small electrical charges by electrostatic means. Compare to electrometer.
A fairly simple device comprised of a metal rod with two thin leaves attached to one end. If the electroscope is given a negative charge, the metal leaves will separate from each other. The rate of discharge of the electroscope is a measure of ions in the air and can be used as a basis of measurement and detection.(Basic Science/Radiography/detectionmeasurement/electroscope_popup.htm)
An electroscope is a device which is used to detect the presence and magnitude of electric charge on a body.
