Frequently asked questions
Why are the balls hung on unspun silk?
Silk is a good insulator, so the charge given to the balls stays on them instead of leaking away through the thread.
What does the apparatus demonstrate?
Attraction of the light balls by a charged rod and repulsion between the two balls once they carry the same charge.
