Electrostatic Charges
Compare and contrast the results of three different methods of charging: (1) rubbing two objects together; (2) touching a charged object to a neutral one; and (3) grounding a neutral object while it is polarized (charging by induction)....
Capacitance
Investigate how the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor varies when the plate separation is changed and to qualitatively see the effect of introducing a dielectric material between the plates. A computer model of the system...
Measuring Charge on a Conductive Sphere
Students investigate how charge distributes on the surface of a conductive sphere and the relationship between charge and electric potential
