Experiments with Static Electricity

by Ron Kurtus (revised 26 January 2001)

A fluid is a liquid or gas that is capable of flowing and changing its shape when a force is applied to it. Fluids have a number of interesting properties. Since you have been studying fluids, you have noticed some of the different properties they possess.

Following are some experiments you can do with fluids to either verify their properties or to apply those properties to solve some problem.

You've seen examples of static electricity. You may wonder if you can repeat such effects, or if you can change some variables in order to make a discovery of some sort.

Some experiments to try are:

Do you have a good experiment?

Do you have a good experiment that you've done and would like to tell others about it? Or do you have a great idea for an experiment that you'd like to try?

If so, send an email with your experiment or idea and I will add it to our pages, along with your name and other information you'd like.

Feel free to establish a link from your website to pages in this site.
