Electroscope with Accessories Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Electroscope with Accessories (Product Code: SCL1357/021) detects electric charge: an electrode carrying one or two thin metallic sheets is fixed in a plastic support with two transparent glass sides, and when the electrode is touched with an electrified rod the sheet or sheets swing away from their rest position. It is a basic piece of electrostatics apparatus for school physics rooms, where it forms the core of many an electricity experiment kit for school classes. Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) makes this electroscope in Ambala for school and college laboratories.

Key Details

Typical Use

Rub a rod with a suitable cloth and touch it to the electrode: the metallic sheets take on the same charge, repel each other or the fixed electrode, and open out behind the glass windows. From there teachers can show charging by contact and by induction, compare how strongly different rods charge, and identify an unknown charge by watching whether the divergence grows or shrinks when a rod of known charge approaches. Touching the electrode with a finger earths it and lets the sheets fall back.

Electrostatics works best in dry air, so run the demonstration away from open windows on humid days and keep the glass sides and electrode free of dust and fingerprints. Among physics lab instruments in India this is one of the first that students meet when they study charge, and it pairs well with other electrostatic apparatus for later lessons.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which accessories are included?
The product listing does not itemise the accessories. Please confirm the exact contents with us through the contact page when you request a quotation, so you know whether charging rods need to be ordered separately.

Does it have one leaf or two?
The electrode carries one or two thin metallic sheets; state your preference when you enquire and we will confirm what will be supplied.

Why does the electroscope not respond on some days?
Humid air lets charge leak away quickly. Warm the rod and cloth slightly, work away from damp areas and wipe the housing dry before the lesson.

How do I discharge it between experiments?
Touch the electrode briefly with your finger; this earths it and the sheets return to their equilibrium position.

How should it be cleaned?
Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth on the glass sides and plastic support. Avoid solvents and never pull on the thin sheets, which are easily bent or torn.

Do you supply larger quantities for schools or distributors?
Yes. We handle orders from single units to bulk institutional supply across India and international markets; send the quantity and destination for a quote.
