A sensitive instrument is to be shielded from the strong electrostatic fields in its environment. Suggest a possible way.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

To protect any sensitive instrument from electrostatic field, the sensitive instrument must be put in the metallic cover. This is known as electrostatic shielding.
