We are group 2: Claudia Álvarez , Eduardo Ponce , Álvaro Gonzalez, and Pablo Garcia and we are going to talk about how an electroscope works.
To make the elctroscope we used different materials like: a glass jar, some copper wire, a cork, aluminium foil, and a balloon.
Now, we are going to talk about how it works.When we put a charged object next to the electroscope, the negative chargers are orientated to the top, while the positive ones go towards the bottom of the apparatus. As the chargers are the same
, the aluminium sheets are repelled away from each other, indicating the element has an electroestatic charge.
If the aluminium foils are separated it means that the object is charged with the same type of charge as the electroscope. Otherwise, if they come together, the object and the elctroscope have opposing charges.
By measuring the distance at which these conductors are separated, we can calculate the amount of charge of the object used, in this case, a balloon.
I like your post because you thought the ideas and then you translated them into English. Your explanation of the process is clear and at least, has been done by you and not only written and translated with Google. It is more personal than in other groups. Thanks,
