Show that nuetral objects are attracted to a charged rod. Small bits of paper work well for this. Place a charged rod in the cradle and show that like rods repel and different rods attract. Use the rods to charge the Styrofoam balls and show their attraction and repulsion. Use the rods to charge the electroscope to demonstrate a method for measuring electric charge. The projection electroscope can be placed on the Cannon Document camera for easy class viewing. |
