Force of charged bodies

Principle

The students will observe the interaction between electrostatic charged rods. They will determine that the rods can be attractive or repelling to each other and they will compare rods of different materials. Furthermore, they will conclude that the electrostatic force will also affect a water jet.

Benefits

• Experiment guides are very easy to understand, especially for younger students
• Associated competences are directly linked to the experiments
• Curriculum compatible
• Fit for the future: implementation of tablets possible
