Description:
Faraday Cage is setup. Two proof planes, one having a piece of material on it, are placed in the cage. The cage is grounded to neutralize any charge on or in the cage. The two planes are now rubbed together while in the cage. Take each plane out and notice that one is charged negative, the other positive but when they are both in the cage the net charge is zero.
Location:
- Faraday Cage: Shelf I-4
- Proof Planes: In Faraday cage.
