Definition of 'electroscope, condensing'

The Standard Electrical Dictionary

1. electroscope, condensing
A gold leaf electroscope, the glass bell of which is surmounted by an electrophorous or static condenser, to the lower plate of which the leaves of gold are suspended or connected.

In use the object to be tested is touched to the lower plate, and the upper plate at the same time is touched by the finger. The plates are now separated. This reduces the capacity of the lower plate greatly and its charge acquires sufficient potential to affect the leaves, although the simple touching may not have affected them at all.
