PRELABName: Colomba Cruz RiveraDate: 09/15/24Title of Experiment: ElectrostaticsClass & Section: 246-202All lab partners:Sarah Dichak and Aaqib IslamPurpose:The purpose of this experiment is to understand static electricity and learnhow to measure charge on a metallic surface.Physical Quantities and UnitsPhysical QuantitiesUnitsElectrical PotentialVoltsDistanceCentimetersFrequencyHertzKey Equations:*no equations required*Summary of procedure:Before anything, we will have to put on some gloves to notget any oils onto the equipment. We will then make sure the experiment is set upprecisely as shown in Figure 2 with the right wires connected and the right optionschosen. To calibrate (get rid of any charge) our charge sensor we must press the zerobutton. After that we will set up capstone. As we continue with our experiment, we willcreate a table in excel and record our data in capstone. We will repeat the trial andexamine how precise our results are. We will then create a histogram and analyze thedata we got from the experiment.Hypothesis:The lower the precision, the higher the standard deviation to be observed,while the higher the precision, the lower the standard deviation is to be observed.
