Electrostatic induction with conductors and non-conductors

Principle

The pupils observe the effect of a force between charged bodies and uncharged conductors and non-conductors and they can explain the observed phenomena. They also observe with two uncharged bodies that forces of electrostatic induction can arise from a charged body.

Task

We see signs of elecrostatic induction. To investigate the effect of electrically charged rods and foils on paper fragments, aluminium foil and suspended aluminium rods.
