(choose chapter or problem)

For this experiment, you will need two 20-cm strips of transparent tape. (The mass of each is about 65 mg.) Fold about 1 cm of tape over at one end of each strip to create a handle. Press both pieces of tape side by side onto a tabletop, rubbing your nger back and forth across the strips. Quickly pull the strips off the surface so that they become charged. Hold the tape handles together, and the strips will repel each other, forming an inverted V shape. Measure the angle between the pieces and estimate the excess charge on each strip. Assume that the charges act as if they were located at the center of mass of each strip.
