Description: A Zeppelin-shaped conductor is mounted on an insulated
stand. The conductor is charged with a PVC rod. Two small conductors,
one pointed and one round (to fit the ends of the large conductor), are
available to transfer charge to electrosopes. Each conductor is placed
on the ovoid simultaneously and then on to the electroscopes. The amount of
charge is observed.
