Description

The experiment P3.1.5.2 reconstructs a historic experiment first performed by Cavendish. A metal sphere is mounted on an insulated base. Two hollow hemispheres surround the sphere completely, but without touching it. When one of the hemispheres is charged, the charge distributes itself uniformly over both hemispheres, while the inside sphere remains uncharged. If the inside sphere is charged and then surrounded and contacted by the hemispheres, the two hemispheres again show equal charges, and the inside sphere is uncharged.
