Electromagnetic fields are everywhere, all around us. Some are generated naturally, but in vast majority of cases, it’s we humans that are generating them with artificial, electronic means. Everything ...

Editor's Note: The last electroscope I used employed gold leaves or pith balls to indicate charge, but here's an electronic version with no moving parts. Though one of our reviewers felt the design ...

THOSE who experimentalise with the usual form of gold-leaf electroscope must know well that the instrument requires a vast amount of preparation and drying before it is ready for use, and also that in ...

This diy electroscope circuit can precisely measure electrostatic charge. The charge to be measured is stored on C1 (a high quality MKT capacitor with a value of 1-2 μF). The voltage (U) across the ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. Background on gold-leaf type ...

This instrument is a version of a commercial model of a Wulff electroscope especially modified by its manufacturer, Günther & Tegetmeyer (mfr. number 4760), to take into account operating under ...

I SUPPOSE teachers still use gold-leaf electroscopes for their junior lectures; certainly I have found nothing else so dead-beat, or so readily understood; and by projecting with a lens a shadow of ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- In May a University of Maryland-led team of scientists reported some previously unknown features in the energy spectra of cosmic ray nuclei, which have been studied for almost 100 ...
