The Charge Sensor can be used to measure electric quantity of a conductor. For example: it can be used to replace traditional gold leaf electroscope and electrometer in static electricity experiment.
It designed with alligator clip which covered by plastic. The wires used are red and black (for ground).
There is a button equipped on the sensor which is used to change the measuring range. Press the button and the measuring range will become high otherwise it will be low.
There is a reset button equipped on the sensor which is used to discharge the capacitor.
