The Electrostatic System Physics Kit comes with 26 components, including an electroscope, core balls and various rods needed to investigate key concepts in introductory electrostatics.
With this kit, students can explore common experiments like the gold foil electroscope, positive and negative charges, insulators and conductors, and Coulomb's law.
Includes an experience guide covering 11 activities
- Exploring electrostatic charge using rods and rags
- Charge motion on an object
- There is more than one type of charge
- Comparing magnetic and electrostatic forces
- the electroscope
- Conductors versus Insulators
- Charging objects by induction and conduction
- back electrophorus
- Coulomb's Law
