Uvod
Osnovni elektrometar
ES-9078A
Preporučena oprema:
The Basic Electrometer is a voltmeter used for direct measurements of voltage and indirect measurements of current and charge. Because of its high impedance of 1014 ohms, it is especially suited for measuring charge in electrostatic experiments. It has a sensitivity nearly one thousand times that of a standard goldleaf electroscope, a center-zero
meter display that directly indicates charge polarity, and a digits display. The Basic Electrometer measures charges as low as 10-11 coulombs.
The device can also output a signal to a PASCO analog interface. These features make electrostatics demonstrations and labs more quantitative and easier to perform.
The Basic Electrometer is powered by four AA-alkaline batteries (included). These batteries can be easily replaced by opening the back casing of the electrometer.

Operacija
The following sections explain how to safely set up and use the Basic Electrometer.
Setup
- Connect the BNC plug of the signal input cable (test lead) to the BNC jack on the side of the Basic Electrometer. To lock the cable in place, line up the pegs on the BNC jack with the slots on the plug, push the plug onto the jack, and turn the plug clockwise until
- Use the banana plug patch cord to connect the Ground port of the electrometer to an earth ground.
- Pritisnite ON/OFF button to turn the electrometer on. The digits display, meter display, and one of the voltage range indicators will light up.
- Pritisnite NULA button to zero the The LED of the meter display will align with the “0” mark, and the digits display will show 0.0.
- Pritisnite Voltage birač opsega button to select the desired voltage range (3, 10, 30, or 100).
The range setting refers to the voltage input required to produce a full- scale meter deflection. For example, a setting of 30 means that the meter will be fully deflected by a voltage od 30 V.
Important points for general operations
- NEVER use the Basic Electrometer to measure potentials greater than 100 V.
- Never connect the electrometer to an electrostatics generator, such as a Van de Graaff generator or a Wimhurst machine.
- Avoid touching the input leads until you have grounded yourself to an earth A person walking across a rug on a cool, dry day can easily acquire a potential of several thousand volts.
- Always press the ZERO button between measurements to discharge any excess charge from the electrometer. Shorting the test leads together is insufficient, as there may still be stray charges within the circuitry.
- For best results, ALWAYS connect the electrometer to an earth ground, such as a water pipe or the ground wire from a 120 VAC socket, during experiments. Only an earth ground can provide a sufficient drain for excess charge buildup during the
- The experimenter should also be grounded during the To do this, touch one hand to an earth ground just before or during measurements.
Measuring voltage
The Basic Electrometer can be treated as an infinite impedance voltmeter. To use the electrometer as a voltmeter, connect the signal input cable leads to the battery, set the voltage range, and read the voltage on the meter or digits display.
Measuring charge via induction
Under most conditions, the best way to measure charge is via induction. Use a proof plane and a Faraday ice pail, such as those included with the Electrostatics System (ES-9080B) and shown below.

The proof plane is simply a small conductive disk mounted on an insulating handle. To sample the charge distribution on a charged object, simply touch the object with the proof plane, then place the proof plane inside the inner cylinder of the ice pail, bez touching the cylinder. A charge of equal magnitude and sign is induced on the surface of the ice pail and can be read by the Basic Electrometer.
By always using the proof plane and ice pail, the capacitance will be the same for all measurements, and the charge on the proof plane will always be proportional to the voltage reading on the electrometer.
Measuring charge via contact
Charges can also be measured by contact. If you touch the inner cylinder of the ice pail with a charged object, such as a charged proof plane, the electrometer reading will generally remain mostly unchanged. This is because the total capacitance is only negligibly affected by the proof plane. However, this may not always be the case.
Any charge measurement with the electrometer is indirect, based on the knowledge that the amount of charge on an object is proportional to the
readings will always be measured in volts, not coulombs. However, the polarity of the voltage directly shows the type of charge being sampled. If quantitative charge measurement is needed rather than qualitative data, charge can be measured using the equation Q = CV, gdje V
je voltage across a known capacitor of capacitance C.
The Basic Electrometer can be thought of as an infinite impedance voltmeter in parallel with a capacitor CE, kao što je prikazano na slici 2.
CE represents the internal capacitance of the electrometer, plus the
capacitance of the leads and the ice pail if these are being used. When a charged object is placed across the electrometer leads (or into the ice pail), a voltage V is displayed on the meter. If the value CE is known, the value of charge can be calculated using the equation Q = CEV.

The capacitance of the electrometer alone is about 27 picofarads (pF). However, if the sampled object adds significant capacitance, the situation changes to what is shown in Figure 3, with Clok being the capacitance of the object. To accurately calculate the amount of
charge in this case, the total capacitance CE + Clok must be determined. This requires an accurate value for CE, unless you are certain that the object you are measuring has a high enough capacitance to disregard CE (Clok >> CE). Note that this is ne the case when using the Basic Variable Capacitor (ES-9079). The following section will explain how to measure the experimental capacitance value of the electrometer, any cables connected to it, and the ice pail.

Measuring the capacitance of the electrometer and connectors
When a known capacitor C is charged by a known voltage V, the charge in the capacitor is given by Q = CV. If a capacitor with known charge is connected across the leads of the electrometer, it is connected in parallel with the internal capacitance CE of the electrometer, ice pail, and cables. Therefore, the total capacitance becomes C + CE. The known capacitor will discharge across the Basic Electrometer, and the voltage VE can be read. Since the total charge of the system is still Q, we know that:
Use this procedure to measure a precise value of the capacitance provided by the electrometer and connected instruments:
- Obtain a low leakage capacitor (polypropylene or air dielectric) of known value C around 30 pF.
- Charge the capacitor with a known voltage VOvaj svezaktage should NOT be higher than 100 V, as this is the limit of the
