what material can we use for the lid of the electroscope?
Dear Student,
In order to make the lid of an electroscope, a sheet of cardboard can be used.
I have mentioned below the procedure as well a simple image of the electroscope for your reference.
You can take a jam bottle or any bottle. Take a paper clip and open it to make straight line. Take a cardboard sheet wider than mouth of bottle. Pierce a hole. Then insert paper clip in the hole and hang
it on the mouth of bottle. Take 2 foil paper strips And attach them on the end of paper clip in side the bottle. Rub a pen refill on a woollen sweater and touch the outer end of the paper clip. If the two foil strips repel then the refill or any other substance is charged as same charge repel each other.
Regards
