About This Product
A pith ball electroscope is one of the simplest ways to show that like charges repel and unlike charges attract. The two light pith balls hang on unspun silk from a hook on an insulated, chrome-plated brass pillar, which stands on a wooden base. Unspun silk is used for the suspension because it does not readily lead charge away from the balls. School Educational Instrument can ship the Electroscope Pith Ball For Physics Lab to Burkina Faso, Estonia, Burundi, Angola and Moldova.
