ELECTROSCOPE

OBJECTIVE
To study the electrostatic force
METHOD
1. Make a hole on the
through the electroscope
bottle lid with a pin.

2. Put the strecthed

paperclip through the

hole and stick it with

clay

3. Cut some aluminium

foils in ellipse shape and

hang it at the side inside

of the bottle of paper

clip

4. Stick some aluminium

foil to the top of the

paperclip

5. Close the lit and

experiment

ANALYSIS
When you rub your hand against an object,

electrons from your hand are transferred to

the object. That’s made the object becomes

more negative. When you move the object

CONCLUSION
close to the copper wire, the electrons that The electroscope can

are on the piece of copper move down to

show and
the copper, away from the object from
demonstrate the
charge repelling. When the electron goes to

both aluminum foil, they become negative properties of

and repel each other
electrostatic

repulsion.
