GL140 - Using semolina and an EHT to show electric field lines
Most A-Level Physics syllabi require students to sketch various combinations of electric field patterns (e.g. a positive point charge and negative point charge, or a positive point charge to a negatively charged plate). This practical demonstration provides a vivid illustration which will help students both understand such fields, and remember them.
