Electroscope Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-ES-12899
The Educational Instrument Electroscope is a classroom electrostatics apparatus used to demonstrate how charged bodies interact with conductive parts of an instrument. When a charged object is brought near or touches the terminal, the indicator leaves or pointer mechanism respond by separating, moving, or deflecting according to the charge condition.
This apparatus helps convert abstract electrostatics theory into a direct visual experiment. It is suitable for use with charged friction rods, silk cloth, PVC rods, acrylic rods, and other approved electrostatics accessories. Exact construction details, enclosure material, indicator type, and dimensions should be confirmed before publishing final procurement specifications.
Key Features
Designed for detecting static electric charge in classroom physics experiments.
Useful for explaining electrostatic induction, conduction, attraction, and repulsion.
Compatible with friction rods and related electrostatics and sound apparatus.
Supports hands-on learning in physics lab equipment setups.
Suitable for supervised school, college, and STEM laboratory use.
Can be paired with gold leaf electroscope STEM lab accessories where compatible.
Helps students observe charge behavior instead of relying only on textbook diagrams.
Useful in structured science kits and electrostatics demonstration modules.

Applications / Uses
Detecting whether an object carries static electric charge.
Demonstrating charge transfer by conduction.
Showing electrostatic induction without direct contact.
Comparing charged, neutral, and discharged bodies.
Demonstrating attraction and repulsion in electrostatics lessons.

How to Use the Electroscope
Place the electroscope on a stable, dry, non-conductive surface.
Ensure the terminal, body, and indicator area are clean and dry before use.
Charge a friction rod or suitable object using an approved rubbing material.
Bring the charged object near the electroscope terminal without touching it to demonstrate induction.
Touch the charged object to the terminal to demonstrate charge transfer by conduction.
Observe the leaf separation, pointer movement, or indicator response.
Discharge the electroscope safely before repeating the experiment.
Safety note: Use the electroscope only for low-energy static electricity demonstrations. Keep it away from high-voltage sources, moisture, flames, and sensitive electronic devices.
Care & Maintenance
Store the electroscope in a clean, dry cabinet after use.
Keep the terminal and indicator area free from dust, oil, and moisture.
Handle the instrument gently to avoid damaging the leaf, pointer, or enclosure.
Do not use chemical cleaners unless the material compatibility is confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an electroscope used for?
An electroscope is used to detect the presence of electric charge and demonstrate electrostatic effects such as induction, conduction, attraction, and repulsion.
Is this electroscope suitable for school physics labs?
Yes. The electroscope is suitable for supervised school physics laboratories, college practical classes, STEM labs, and teacher demonstrations.
Can an electroscope show positive and negative charge?
An electroscope can show the presence and behavior of charge. To identify charge type reliably, students compare the response with a known charged body under teacher guidance.
Can this apparatus be used with friction rods?
Yes. An electroscope is commonly used with charged friction rods to demonstrate charge detection and electrostatic interaction.
What material is the electroscope made from?
The exact material should be confirmed before publishing. The body, terminal, leaf or pointer, and enclosure material may vary by model.
Why should the electroscope be kept dry?
Moisture allows static charge to leak away quickly. Keeping the electroscope dry improves the visibility and repeatability of electrostatics experiments.
