This is the same old lab full o' demos. Look! Balloon on the wall! Hey! My hair is standing up! One new trick in this bag: use the charge sensors to demonstrate the difference between induction and conduction.
Student Objectives
- Use charge polarization to create electrostatic attraction
- Demonstrate electrostatic attraction and repulsion qualitatively
- Distinguish between charge conduction and induction
- Measure the amount of charge induced or transferred to an object
