Spherical probe

A spherical probe is a scientific instrument used to measure electric fields or charges around objects. Its round shape ensures consistent contact and uniform measurement across its surface. When placed near an electric field, the probe detects variations in the field's strength, helping scientists analyze phenomena like lightning, electromagnetic waves, or plasma behavior. The spherical design minimizes measurement errors caused by shape irregularities, providing a more accurate and reliable way to study electrical environments. It’s commonly used in laboratories, space research, and electrical engineering to gather precise data on electric influences in various settings.
