The Difficult Problems in the Study of the Static Electricity

Abstract

In high School physics, the study of the electric current is programmed on the base of the static electricity, and they are learned in an ordered way. However, a large effect is not expected, because there are many difficult problems. In elementary and secondary schools, the study of the statric electricity is relatively small compered to the electric current. Because of this unbalance, in high school, the study of the static electricity is needed to learning with systematical experiments, which take for learning from qualitative experiment to quantitative experiment. In the text book, however, there are mixed together qualitative and quantitative experiment, and undeveloped apparatus and meter are used for the quantitative experiment. This paper reports the characteristic property of the meter on the quantitative experiment, and we will introduce a few of our trial production of the meter.
