Materials:
Glass Jar or Glass
Aluminum Foil
Index Card
Paperclip
Tape
Procedure:
Cut two strips of foil lcm by 4cm (1/3" by 1 1/2") Open out the paperclip to form the shape at right. Push the hook through the middle of the index card and tape so that it is at right angles to the card. Lay the two foil strips on top of one another and hang them on the hook by pushing the hook through them. Lay the card over the jar so that the strips hang inside.
Bring various charged objects near the hook and observe what happens. Notice what happens to the strips when the sources are removed. Does anything different happen if the source actually touches the hook? If the strips do not fall back together, gently touch the hook with your finger.
