Principle

The pupils learn that, between two electrically-charged bodies, forces act. These are repelling forces when both bodies are identically electrically charged and forces of attraction when they are oppositely charged.

Benefits

  • Quick and easy experiment for qualitatively understanding of electrostatic phenomena
