Physics: Grade 8


Students of grade 8 did an activity were they made electroscope from the waste materials like empty transparent bottle, aluminium foil, copper wire & bottle’s metal cap.

The objectives of the activity were as follows:-

a) First they have charged the electroscope with negative charge with help of ebonite rod & flannel cloth and observed that the leaves diverged.

b) Then they brought opposite charge so the leaves collapsed.

c) They also proved laws of electrostatic attraction & repulsion.

They enjoyed the activity and called it as magic of static electricity.
