Electrostatics Devices
|
This assignment will look forward to the next unit on electrostatic which we will start next week.
Students will prepare a 10 minute (or more) PowerPoint presentation on their electrostatic topic.
Students can work individually or in groups of 2. As a group, please sign up for topics so that there are no repeats.
TOPICS:
Electrostatic precipitators
Electrocardiograms (EKG)
Photocopiers
Lightening / lightening protection systems such as lightening rods and surge protectors
Van der Graaf generator
Tasers and / or stun guns
Windhurst generator (we have one at the school)
Electrostatic spray painting systems
any other electrostatic device which you find interesting
CONTENT:
The focus of your teaching session should be: "How does this device work?" Ensure that you use minimal text in your PowerPoint: titles, labels and very brief point form notes. Be sure to use plenty of diagrams to help in your explanation: how does it work?
