Student Kit Electrostatics

Discover How Electric Charges Interact and Forces Arise

Use: Student experiments on fundamental phenomena of electrostatics

With the Student Kit Electrostatics, students investigate fundamental principles of electrostatics through practical experiments. The focus is on the properties of electric charges, contact electrification, polarisation, electrostatic induction and the electric field.

For the various experimental setups, the kit includes friction rods made of hard rubber, plastic, glass and acrylic, as well as different friction cloths. Additional materials such as a pith-ball pendulum, polystyrene balls and a glow lamp enable a variety of investigations into electrostatic phenomena.

The materials are stored in a compact plastic case. Easy-to-understand instructions with clear illustrations are included and support students in carrying out the experiments independently.

The picture shows a red suitcase containing various experimental materials. These include a piece of grey fur, tubes, a net, a small box and other utensils that can be used for educational purposes in the experimental area.

The picture shows a red experiment box containing various materials and instructions for practical experiments. The contents include a gray piece of fabric, various small devices and an information sheet about static electricity and dielectric polarization.
The image shows a piece of grey fur fabric, the soft and fluffy structure of which is clearly visible. In the background, a dark, structured surface can be seen, which provides a contrasting frame for the fur.
