This demonstration illustrates absorption and fluorescence of differently coloured materials using UV light. It is also suitable for demonstrating scintillate materials and their working principle.
One of the electroscopes in the photographs suffers from static friction. Gently tap it to release the needle and you will see the needle deflecting.
This demonstration illustrates the dependence of motion on reference frames.
This demonstration illustrates the influence of the spring constant, amplitude of the oscillation, and the mass of the cart on the period of oscillation of the one/two cart system.
This demonstration illustrates a harmonic oscillator through a simple single pendulum.
This demonstration illustrates the precession of a spinning top.
This demonstration utilizes a double cone on a specifically designed ramp to illustrate the importance of the center of mass in determining the rolling direction. The track’s geometry creates an incline, but the double cone’s wider section reaches under the top of the rails as it rolls. Hence, lowering its center of mass despite the ramp’s slope and minimizing the system’s gravitational potential energy.
Wool and the short, yellow PVC pipe are a good combination: put the wool in one pot and stir/rub the PVC pipe against the wool. Then remove the PVC pipe from the pot and transfer it to the other pot.
One of the electroscopes in the photographs suffers from static friction. Gently tap it to release the needle and you will see the needle deflecting.
This demonstration illustrates the electric field lines inside and around the capacitor.
With this demonstration we can better visualize how the Faraday’s cage works and why it works.
This demonstration is an entertaining visualization of the induction of charges and its repelling effect due to opposite values.
