ACTIVITY COLLECTION

Wireless Electrostatics Experiments

Perform quantitative electrostatics investigations using the Wireless Charge Sensor and various electrostatics apparatus.

Subject: Physics

Students investigate three methods of charging objects (by friction, by contact, and by induction) and demonstrate conservation of charge

Students investigate how charge distributes on the surface of a conductive sphere and the relationship between charge and electric potential

Students investigate the effect of rubbing insulating materials with various fabrics and the electric field surrounding charged objects
