The assignment uses the word "Faraday Ice Pail," but I believe "Faraday Cage" is a better fit. I hope this helps with any confusion.
An experiment is done using a Faraday Ice Pail, charge wands (white wand has positive charge, and the blue wand has negative charge), and an electrometer. In the first part of the experiment, the charge wands are charged and then dipped into the Faraday Ice Pail (does not touch the pail), and then removed. Here is the data collected from the electrometer: Why was the electrometer reading not zero only when the wand was inside the pail? Include charge diagrams as a part of your explanation. These diagrams should include the wand, the inner mesh cylinder of the Faraday Ice Pail, the wire from the inner cylinder to the electrometer, and the electrometer. Include the charge diagrams of each of these times showing the charges at electrostatic equilibrium: A) Before you place the wand in the pail (show the charged wand outside the pail) B) When the wand is inside the pail C) When the wand has been removed from the pail Note to tutor: I believe that I did the first two parts (included) correctly, if not, please feel free to correct me, but I just need the charge diagram for Part \( C \). Part A.
Part B.
