=210. Directions.= (A) Vigorously rub E S with F C (folded as in Fig. 58). See if you can discover any attraction between them.
(B) Rub E S again, but do not lift F C from it with the hand alone. Slip E R under the top fold in F C (Fig. 58), and lift F C straight up from E S. Do not let F C touch the table or your hand.
(C) See if F C is charged, using 2 or 3 different tests.
(D) Charge the electroscope with F C until the carbon is strongly repelled.
(E) Bring the positively charged E C slowly near the carbon, and note the result.
(F) Slowly bring the negatively charged E S near the carbon that has been charged by contact with F C.
_=211. Discussion.=_ This experiment showed that while the ebonite was negatively charged, the flannel was positively charged. One kind of electrification is never produced without the other. It can also be shown that the two kinds are equal in amount.
=EXPERIMENT 97. To show "successive sparks."=
_Apparatus._ Fig. 59. The electrophorus (Exp. 68); the extra ebonite sheet, E S (No. 27); three coins (marked A, B, C, in Fig. 59). The coins should nearly touch each other, and rest upon E S. A part, only, of the electrophorus cover is shown.
=212. Directions.= (A) Thoroughly charge the electrophorus cover.
(B) Place your finger upon the coin marked A, to "ground" it, then quickly touch the coin C with the charged cover, at the same time watching for sparks between the coins. If you cannot see the sparks, darken the room a little, and look at the center coin, B, while doing the experiment.
=EXPERIMENT 98. To show to the eye the strong attraction between a charged and a neutral body.=
_Apparatus._ The flat box, F B (Nos. 40, 41); the electrophorus (see Exp. 68).
=213. Directions.= (A) Stand F B upon its edge upon a level table, then bring the charged electrophorus cover near it.
(B) Instead of the above, use light hoops made of paper, eggshells, feathers, sawdust, etc.
=EXPERIMENT 99. To feel the strong attraction between a charged and a neutral body.=
_Apparatus._ Fig. 60. The flat box F B (Nos. 40, 41); the electrophorus (Exp. 68).
=214. Directions.= (A) Hold F B in the left hand, as shown, then _slowly_ bring near it the charged cover, at the same time looking between them so that you can keep them the same distance apart all the way round.
