Demonstrates Gauss's Law. Place a radio inside Faraday Cage and it becomes silent.
Demonstrates Gauss's Law. Slowly lower a small radio playing an AM Radio station into the Faraday Cage and it will become silent.  If in a room that am radio signals are not present,  generate radio frequency noise with a distant Van de Graaff or the Plasma Sphere.
