Electrostatics Lab
The Electrostatics Lab is a carefully-chosen set of items thar allows students to demonstrate multiple electrostatic principles and phenomena: electrophorus, charging electroscopes by induction and contact, electrostatic attraction, repulsion and induction, Faraday’s ice pail experiment, and surface distribution of the charge.
Components:
1. Electroscopes with ball terminals (2)
2. Charge transfer rod
3. Disk terminals for electroscopes (2)
4. Glass beaker
5. Faraday Cage with cover
6. Insulated base for Faraday Cage
7. Aluminum can
8. Electrophorus plate with handle
9. Pith balls
10. Charging ball
11. Acrylic sheet
12. Neon bulb
13. Insulated point
14. Acetate cloth
15. Friction rods: polyethylene, PVC, acrylic, glass, nylon, polystyrene
