THE E~LEcTRoscoPE.
instrument by Which the Presence Of
Electricity IL Detected.

INSTRUMENT by Which the Presence OF
Electricity IL Detected.
The e~lectroscope Is an instrument for
the detection of electricity. 1t depends
fer Its action on the principle that
bodies charged with like electricity re-
pei, while those charged with unlike
electricity attract each other. The or1i-
nary pith ball suspended on a silk
thread is the simplest form OF the In
strument.
The most common type OF electro
scope is that devised by Bennett In
1887 and known as the gold leaf cleo
troscope, 1t consists OF two strips OF
gold leaf or thin aluminium foil sus-
pended from the lower extremity Of a
conductor within a glass bottle or jar.
The upper end OF the conductor ter
inmates in a ball or a plate in case the
instrument Is to be used as a condens-
ing electroseope. If a body charged
with positive electricity Is brought near
the knob OF the e~lectroseope the mega
tive electricity will be attracted1to the
knob and the positive repealed to the
leaves, which diyerge. If now the fin
ger is touched to the knob the positive
electricity is drawn off and the leaves
collapse, while the negative electricity
is held bound. Removing the charged
body, the leaves will diverge again,
charged with negative electricity. In
this case the instrument can be used
to determine the nature Of a charge OF
a body brought near 1t, as with a posi-
tive charge the leaves will collapse and
with q negative charge spread farther
apart Exchange.
