A "Hair-Raising" Physics Experiment
|
By Kim Garber
Kensington Woods High School students had a "hair raising" experience when they touched a Van de Graaf generator. Just ask Austin Corless and Adam Valente (pictured below).  
In addition to seeing their classmates' hair go wild, students witnessed six stacked metal tins magically fly off the generator, neon light bulbs glow in the presence of the electric field, and sparks of discharge. Trevor Osterdale explained how a Van de Graaf generator is built, generates a charge, and utilizes fundamental electrostatic physics principles. An electrifying time was had by all!
