Electroscope Pith Ball

The Pit Ball Electroscope is designed to detect the presence of static electric charge and demonstrate basic principles of electrostatics. It consists of two lightweight pit balls suspended from a metal rod, which can be attracted to a charged object or charged directly by touching them to an electrically charged body. The apparatus is useful for demonstrating the detection of electric charges and determining the polarity of an unknown charge. It is mounted on a solid round base with an insulated stand, while the pit balls are suspended from an unsprung silk thread. The set includes three strings and six pit balls, providing a practical setup for classroom physics experiments. Manufactured by Atico Export to meet the practical demands of modern laboratories.
