Description
Electrostatics experiment. 19th-century illustration of an electroscope being used in an electrostatics experiment. Such experiments involved the use of objects on insulating threads being attracted and repulsed by an electric charge, usually a form a static electricity. Here, the charge is being supplied (or drained) from the apparatus by the object in the experimenter's hand (left). An electroscope is used to measure the presence and magnitude of electric charge. This illustration is from 'Physique Populaire' (Emile Desbeaux, 1891).
