Charge Sensor

Suggested Activity

Use the Charge Sensor to demonstrate the

magnitude of charge build-up induced on PASCO

Charge Producers (ES-9057A).

In this demonstration, you connect the Charge

Sensor to a Faraday Ice Pail (ES-9042A) as shown

in Figure 2.

After setting the sensor up in your data acquisition

program and opening a Meter display, briskly rub

the Charge Producers together.  Next, lower one of

the Charge Producers into the inner basket of the

Faraday Ice Pail.

Result:  The magnitude of the charge that was

provided when the Charge Producers were rubbed

together will be displayed on the Meter display.

The Charge Producer with the blue surface will

acquire a negative charge, and the one with the

white surface will have a positive charge.  The

magnitude of the positive and negative charges will

be equivalent.
