Your cart is empty. Eisco Labs Electrostatics Kit
This kit is ideal for small group experiments in electrostatics. The set is built around the special, dual-purpose electroscope, which in addition to being useful for general electrostatic experiments, is capable of performing measurements of the activity of weak radio-active materials. Positive and negative charges can be produced with included acetate strips and woolen cloths.
A great variety of experiments can be performed including determining types of charge, measuring the amount of conducted or induced charge with the gold leaf electroscope or by using the polystyrene spheres as hollow conductors, and using the proof plane to investigate the distribution of charges on conductors.
The kit comes with 19 components:
- 1 Electroscope with top plate and hook electrode
- 1 Packet of gold leaves
- 4 Metallized polystyrene spheres
- 1 Reel of very fine nylon thread
- 2 Polythene plate, 75mm square
- 1 Electrophorus plate, 50mm diameter with insulating handle
- 1 Proof Plane
- 2 Aluminum Calorimeters
- 1 Cellulose acetate strip
- 1 Polythene strip with woolen rubber
- 1 Stirrup for suspending strip

Shipped with two polyethylene strips and no cellulose acetate, so cannot do full set of experimentsGold leaf for electroscope impossible to peel from backing paper, so electroscope is very insensitive.

This is not a kit in the sense of a kid's science kit with in-depth experiment manual. It is a laboratory resource kit that brings together just about everything a person needs to perform demonstrations of electrostatic principles. I especially wanted the electrophoresis and the electroscope and they both work very well. I will probably be using light aluminum foil and tape rather than the very delicate gold foil provided simply because the gold is soooooo delicate. But the gold is there for whoever wants to use it. If you must have a manual, there are instructions for experiments all over the Internet and and a high school physics lab manual should also serve well. The advantage of this set is that everything is here and you're not tied to the experiments they give you. This is the classic electrostatics laboratory.

No instructions, HELLO. I bought this to learn.
