Description
The electrostatic kit allows students to explore the principles of electrostatics, specifically the production of positive and negative charges through rubbing strips with provided cloths. This can be used to demonstrate the phenomenon of mini static shocks experienced during winter months or the principle of lightning. The kit also includes insulated pivot stands and an electroscope for further investigation of electrostatic forces.
Explain the principle of mini static shocks experienced during winter months or the principal of lightning using the electrostatics kit. Students rub the strips with the provided cloths to produce a positive or negative charge. The strips can also be placed on the insulated pivot stands or over the electroscope to investigate electrostatic forces.
