This website offers more than 20 lecture demonstrations designed to help students discover laws of electrostatics. Demos include electroscopes, a simple electrophorus, a "dissectible" capicitor, spark ignition, triboelectric charging, charge dissipation, and an inexpensive moving charge sensor. The author focuses on materials and tools common to manufacturing to establish a connection between basic principles and practical applications. Background information, diagrams, photos, and schematics of electric charge are also provided to facilitate a speedy set-up.
