Using or building an Electroscope can demonstrate what law? (materials needed: 2 plastic sheets, 1 paper clip to hold the sheets together. 1 pen & 1 nail).
1st law, "opposites attract & like objects repel" Note: to charge the plastic sheets, you run your fingers down them. electrons will get ripped off of you and will pile onto the plastic. This makes both sheets negatively charged and they will repel each other. when you run the plastic pen through the 2 sheets of plastic nothing happens because the plastic pen is a good insulator. electrons in the pen cant move that easily. If you put the nail between the plastic sheets, the electrons will jump to the nail because its made out of metal which is a good conductor.
