The experimental setup consists of a balanced beam system with two suspended bodies: a reference weight connected to an electronic scale on one side, and a test body capable of being electrically charged on the other side. The beam is pivoted at the center to ensure balance. The reference weight is used only for calibration and comparison. The test body is electrically charged with a very high static potential, ideally in the range of millions of volts. By charging the test body, any variation in the measured force (apparent weight) on the electronic scale side can be detected with high sensitivity. Objective To test whether the gravitational weight of a body changes with its electric charge state. According to the proposed model, charging the test body should produce a measurable difference in the equilibrium reading of the scale, reflecting a modification in the gravitational effect due to electrostatic influence.
