ELECOPTO Metal Gold Leaf Electroscope for Static Electricity Measurement and Voltage Detection

• Material: Heavy-Duty Metal & Glass
• Enclosure Color: Gold
• Light Source Type: Incandescent Compatible
• Objective Lens Description: Achromatic (Assists in distortion-free visual monitoring)
• Item Weight: 526 Grams
• Measurement Function: Static Charge & Voltage Detection
• Automation Grade: Manual / Analogue

Features

• High Sensitivity Detection: Uses premium, ultra-thin gold leaf to react visually to even minute amounts of static electricity or electrostatic voltage.
• Draft-Proof Glass Window: Features a transparent front panel that shields the internal leaf from ambient air currents while maintaining clear visibility.
• Stable Metal Enclosure: The heavy-duty 526-gram gold-finished metal body ensures the device remains firmly planted on lab benches during interactive experiments.
• Complete Isolation: The metal disc and internal plate assembly are fully insulated from the outer frame to prevent grounding and unwanted charge leakage.
• Incandescent Light Compatibility: Designed to work efficiently under standard incandescent laboratory light sources for high-contrast viewing of leaf deflection.

Applications

• Electrostatic Class Demonstrations: Perfect for physics instructors to visually introduce the concepts of positive and negative electrical charges.
• Charging by Induction & Friction: Used to observe how the gold leaves diverge when rubber or glass rods are rubbed with silk or fur and brought near the metal disc.
• Conductivity Testing: Helps students identify and classify different materials as electrical conductors or insulators based on charge dissipation rates.
• Voltage Presence Detection: Utilized in advanced physics labs to qualitatively measure high voltage levels through the angle of leaf deflection.
