Abstract:Despite the widespread use of the charged tape method to demonstrate electrostatic interaction and the advances in affordable sensors that can directly measure electric charges, there is no detailed analysis of a quantitative model for such experiments. As a result, we present two different theoretical approaches that allowed us to quantitatively estimate the amount of electric charge present on transparent tape. Our first model assumed that the entire electric charge was concentrated at the center of mass of … Show more
