United Scientific Supplies UNEQPTK01 Equipotential Trough Kit

UNEQPTK01 Includes Only:

• Plastic trough, 33cm x 25cm, with printed orientation grid and fitted with three electrode support posts
• Wire harness with snap connector and two alligator clips
• 2 straight metal strip electrodes, 10cm long
• 2 short rod electrodes
• 2 electrode support arms
• Sample point arm
• Digital multimeter
• Activity guide

Features:

• Plot equipotential lines for various electrode configurations
• Classic design
• Correlates to NGSS Standards MS-PS2-5 and HS-PS2-4
• Activity guide included

This comprehensive kit allows students to plot equipotential lines in an electric field between two electrodes held at different electric potentials. A simple setup keeps electrodes partially immersed in water containing an electrolyte, allowing a small current to flow between the electrodes. Students can then sample the resulting electric field using the included multimeter.
