The Pocket Idiot's Guide to Physics
The electroscope will indicate that a charge has been placed on the knob and
conducted to the rest of the conducting parts, including the leaves, when the
leaves spread apart. Another good detector of static charge is the pithball
electroscope.

English Mechanic and World of Science
Therefore the pithball will be free to move in the opposite direction, being
apparently repelled from the glass, although attraction in the opposite direction is
the real phenomenon. If a charge is brought near the pithball, it is clear that the
lines of ...

Part A of the diagram shows a neutral or uncharged pith- ball, part B an internally
displaced (charged) or "polarized" pithball. The reason for the initial attraction
between the charged rubber rod and the neutral pithball is thus made evident.

John Forbes Munro. A glass rod when rubbed with a silk handkerchief becomes,
as we have seen, highly electric, and will attract a pithball (fig. 2). Moreover, if we
substitute the handkerchief for the rod it will also attract the ball (fig. 3). Clearly ...

M/hen a spark jumps through air between a charged rod to an uncharged pithball
, ter is found to have acquired a charge. The implication is that the air became :

The physics of medical radiography
In practice one could not achieve such a measurement because the rapid
response required of the pithball would demand that it be inertialess. That means
that we would need a pithball without mass. We don't have any. Now, as a matter
of ...
