Question

Describe the procedure to make the sample of the following:
A simple electroscope​

Answer 1

Explanation:

How to make your own Electroscope:

You can build your own electroscope at home using simple things you can find around the house, such as:

a glass jar,

2 little pieces of aluminium foil cut into small round shapes (and you need to put a whole in one end of each foil);

A copper wire (spiral one of the ends of the wire to make a large surface area);

Some electrical tape,

A plastic lid cut into a circle the same size as the jar opening (you can use the plastic lid from any plastic container);

A small plastic tube (you can use a straw) shoved through the plastic lid.

Answer 2

An electroscope is a device that detects static electricity by using thin metal or plastic leaves, which separate when charged. ... Electrical charges move to the metal and down to the foil leaves, which then repel each other. Since each leaf has the same charge (positive or negative), they repel each other.
