Ben Franklin as my Lab Partner: The Importance of the Dielectric
written by
Robert Morse
published by the Wright Center for Science Education Tufts University
This lab manual describes experiments motivated by letters of Ben Franklin describing studies of static electricity. It includes explorations of the effect of dielectrics in capacitors and the creation of electrostatic motors. Descriptions of experiments using simple and cheap materials are provided a long with historical descriptions and images.
This resource is part of a Physics Front Topical Unit.
Topic: "Static" Electricity
Unit Title: Franklin and Electrostatics This item integrates a third historic Franklin letter with directions on how to construct a flat-plate capacitor and an electrostatic motor. Link to Unit:
