Experiments for course ELMA

Electrostatics

Existence of positive and negative charge

Demonstration of the existence of positive and negative charge through its separation: a) by striking PVC and acrylic glass rods against each other, b) by rubbing them against various materials. Depending on the combination, the rods charge either positively or negatively.

Visualisation of electric field lines

Demonstration of electric field lines using a suspension of small particles in oil.

Charge on the surface of conductors and electrostatic induction

Charge is distributed only on the surface of conductors. The distribution of this charge can be influenced by electrostatic induction.

Charge on the surface of conductors

The charge density on the surface of conductors varies according to the curvature of the conductor at a given point.

Stationary electric field

Motion of charges in a magnetic field

Motion of charges

Demonstration of the motion of charges. Coming soon.
