Applications of the pith ball electroscope
The light pith balls respond to the small charges produced by rubbing a friction rod, so pupils can see a charged rod attract the balls, the balls repel each other once they share a charge, and like and unlike charges behave differently.
- Detecting static charge on a rubbed friction rod
- Showing repulsion between like charges on the two pith balls
- Showing attraction between charged and uncharged bodies
- Charging by contact and by induction demonstrations
- Class 6-10 science and physics lessons on static electricity
