Charge Sensor

For LabQuest, LabPro, Go! Link, and EasyLink
Charge Sensor
Order Code:CRG-BTA
Price: $75
The Charge Sensor is automatically detected and calibrated when connected.
The Charge Sensor is used in 1 innovative use [more info]

The Charge Sensor is used as an electronic electroscope. Unlike a traditional electroscope, the Charge Sensor can make quantitative measurements. Numerical measurements improve many electrostatics experiments such as charging by induction, charging by friction, and charging by contact. The sensor can also be used to measure charge polarity.

An extremely high impedance voltage sensor with a 0.01µf input capacitor makes these measurements possible. The sensor has three operating ranges and a zeroing switch to discharge the input capacitor.

A special low-leakage BNC/Alligator clip cable is included.

Ranges:
± 0.5 V (+/- 5 nC)
± 2 V (+/- 20 nC)
± 10 V (+/- 97 nC)
Typical bias current = 0.005pA
Input Capacitance: 0.01 µF

What types of activities can I perform with the Charge Sensor?
