Back and forth movement of Electric oscillation (alternate current) the straws on the path etc. Short Summary - Some experiments with the model equipment 1. Even distribution of charge on the conductor surface If the straws are rubbed evenly (being identically electric) with sheep fur and laid perpendicularly on the nylon thread-path at the ends of the path the straws charges will try to occupy positions as far as possible from each other along the conductor of given size insulated with obstacles hindering the straws from rolling off. As the charge and size of the rubbed straws are about the same, the Coulomb repelling forces will be in balance if the distribution of the straw charges is even. If new straws are placed on the nylon thread-path, the whole system will be rearranged. The distance between individual straws will decrease in the same propo
