5A 10.10 - Glass and Plastic Rods with Silk and Fur:
Demonstrates: Electrostatics. Description: Rubbing the rod with silk or fur charges the rod which then attracts the rod on the stand. |
 |
5A 10.20 - Electrophorus:
Demonstrates: Charge transfer and storage. Description: A charge can be created by hand and stored for later use. |
 |
5A 20.10 - Spin Electroscope:
Demonstrates: Electric fields. Description: Bringing a charged rod near one of the needles causes it to start spinning. |
 |
5A 20.20 - Pith Ball Electroscope:
Demonstrates: Positive and negative charges. Description: Charge is transferred to the balls which then repel each other. |
 |
5A 20.30 - Suspended Copper Rod:
Demonstrates: Electrostatics. Description: The copper rod is attracted by the glass rod and repelled by the plastic rod. |
 |
5A 22.20 - Projected Electroscope:
Demonstrates: Electrostatics. Description: Foil leaf in electroscope is deflected when a charge is put on the top sphere. |
 |
5A 40.10 - Transfer Charge Spheres:
Demonstrates: Charge transference. Description: A charge can be transferred to these hollow spheres. |
 |
5A 40.20 - Braun Electroscope:
Demonstrates: Charge detection. Description: Vane is deflected by a charge. |
 |
5A 40.40 - Hollow Globe:
Demonstrates: Charge only resides on the outside of a conductor. Description: Sphere is charged then you can measure the charges inside and out. |
 |
5A 40.50 - Electrostatic Wind Test:
Demonstrates: Interaction of electric charges that are at rest. Description: An electron "wind" causes a flame to be deflected when the generator is on. |
 |
5A 40.60 - Charge Balance:
Demonstrates: Attraction and repulsion of charge. Description: The charged rod is either attracted or repulsed and an imbalance occurs. |
 |
5A 40.70 - Charge Chimes:
Demonstrates: Conduction of a charge. Description: One bell hangs from a chain while the other hangs by monofilament. |
 |
5A 40.80 - Charged Can o' Worms:
Demonstrates: Transfer of Charge. Description: A charge can be transferred to the cans and then detected by an electroscope. |
 |
5A 50.10 - Wimshurst Machine:
Demonstrates: Electrostatics. Description: Unit produces a charge that is stored in a Leyden jar. |
 |
5A 50.30 - Van de Graaff Generator:
Demonstrates: Positive and negative charges. Description: The generator top becomes charged which can be transferred to another object. |
