Charging by Induction

An Interactive Simulation for Static Electricity

No Earthing Wire (Two Sphere Method)

Step Control

Step 0: Neutral Sphere

The sphere is initially neutral, with equal numbers of positive and negative charges distributed evenly throughout.

Charging by Contact

An Interactive Simulation for Static Electricity

Step Control

Step 0: Before Contact

One sphere is charged while the other is neutral.

Experiment with Static Electricity

Number of Spheres:

Place Rod:

Experiment by placing rods, earthing spheres, and bringing them into contact. Try to recreate the results from charging by induction or contact!
