Applications of the charge distribution apparatus
The apparatus is used to show how electric charge is distributed on conductors: charge is sampled from different parts of a charged body with the insulated spheres and plates and compared on the gold leaf electroscope.
- Showing that charge resides on the outer surface of a hollow conductor using the aluminium cans
- Comparing charge density at different points of a conductor with the insulated spheres
- Charging materials by friction and testing the charge on the electroscope
- Demonstrating charging by contact and by induction
- Electrostatics lessons in senior secondary and junior college physics
