Using a gold-leaf electroscope with zinc plate and ultraviolet light | Fadhel Mahdi

In this video, Professor Walter Lewin vividly demonstrates the electroscope experiment, showcasing its ability to detect electric charges. He explains how a charged object, when brought near or touched to the electroscope, causes the metal leaves to repel due to like charges. Through his engaging explanation, Professor Lewin highlights the principles of electrostatics, including charge induction and conduction, making complex concepts accessible and fascinating.
