Electrostatic Charge Experiment
Student experiment measuring charge of objects through direct contact and induction. This complete solution is designed for use with PASCO Capstone Software.
Using classic equipment (a Faraday Ice Pail and Conductive Spheres), students learn to charge objects by direct contact and by induction. The charge is measured using a high impedance electrometer.
Students explore the distribution of charge on different shaped conductive shapes. A sphere with a hole in it is provided to show that no charge resides on the inner surface of the conductor when it is charged.
