Student Kit – Electrostatics

Description Set of apparatus for carrying out 15 basic student experiments on electrostatics. Including electroscope, charge indicator, charge storage unit and Piezo charger. In a robust Gratnells tray with foam inserts molded to the shapes of the items and a transparent lid. Includes a CD with instructions for the experiments. The experiments are designed to occupy as little space as possible in the apparatus frame, while remaining clear and easy to perform.
