SENSOR CHARGE
The charge sensor measures electric charge. It can be used to measure the charge from a plastic rod or the charge on a Van de Graaff generator.
Description
The charge sensor measures electric charge. It can be used to measure the charge from a plastic rod or the charge on a Van de Graaff generator. In addition, it can be used to compare various sources of charge such as a statically charged comb and a battery. Using derived sensing and a distance sensor it can be used to estimate the voltage of a static source. Logger compatibility: ScienceScope Type 2 (See ScienceScope website for details) Range ± 10nC Resolution 0.5nC maximum recording interval with Datadisc is 1 second Derived Sensors: Voltage Applications include: Investigate induced charge from charged plastic Show the distribution of charge on a Van de Graaff generator
