Featured Equipment
Wireless Charge Sensor
Quantitatively measure electrostatic charge on an object.
Electrostatics Voltage Source
This voltage source is ideal for performing experiments in electrostatics.
Conductive Spheres
Spheres can be used to store charge or investigate the charge distribution on one or two spherical conductors.
Charge Producers and Proof Plane
Used to create equal positive and negative charges when rubbed together.
Faraday Ice Pail
Students can measure charge as well as potential.
Support
Many lab activities can be conducted with our Wireless, PASPORT, or even ScienceWorkshop sensors and equipment. For assistance with substituting compatible instruments, contact PASCO Technical Support. We're here to help.
