Electrostatics Kit

The Electrostatics Kit is an accessory for the Vernier Charge Sensor. This kit allows students to perform a range of experiments in electrostatics including the use of Faraday’s pail, quantitative and qualitative measurement of charge, charging by friction, charging by contact and charging by induction.

The kit includes:

• Faraday pail and cage
• Grounding plane
• Grounding wires and wrist strap
• Charge producers and proof plane
• Wool, vinyl, nylon rod, PVC rod
• Cotton cloth
