 Step 1. Cut the metal strip according to the shape shown . (It is not necessary to adhere to the measurements given. They may be varied according to the size of the bottle.) Step 2. Bend the circular part to form a horizontal plate. Step 3. Attach the aluminium foil strip to the lower end tightly using a paper clip. Contact must be firm. Experiments with the electroscope. 1. Use different insulating materials to rub with each other such as plastic and fur, Glass and silk, wool and pencil etc., Then bring the items, one by one close to the plate of your electroscope. Record what happens to the ends of the foil. 2. Select a substance or an item that give a high deflection . Charge this and make contact with the plate of the electroscope. Do this several times until the foil remain divulged. Then as in the ex.1. Bring various items near the plate. Complete a table similar to this to record the results.
