Description
Gold leaf electroscope, illustration. This is an instrument for indicating static charges. If an object charged with static electricity is brought near the terminal (circular plate) of an electroscope, the plate becomes charged by static induction, and the charge passes down into the electroscope itself. There, a hinged gold leaf (yellow) also becomes charged and is repelled by the vertical metal plate.
