Join Professor Michael Melloch from Purdue University as we take a deep dive into Faraday's famous Ice Pail experiment. This video replicates Faraday's experiment to measure electric flux using a conducting pewter pail, an insulator, a gold leaf electrometer, a PVC rod, and a piece of silk. Visualize how the negatively charged PVC rod, when paced inside the pewter pail, causes the electrometer to measure an electric field emanating from the pail. Learn how grounding the outside of the pail eliminates the electric field, signifying that the charge on the outer shell equals that inside. This experiment, brought to life by Prof. Melloch, demonstrates Faraday's discovery that the charge within a container displaces charge on the shell of the container; thus, introducing the concept of displacement flux.
