Prof. Maciej Noras of University of North Carolina at Charlotte

Abstract: Electric field, potential and charge measurements play important role in electrostatics. They are used by scientists and engineers to evaluate static electric charge creation and transfer, evaluation of environments and materials, development of processes and technologies, assessment of electrostatics-related hazards This tutorial explains basic principles and techniques used in the field, potential and charge measurements. It is intended to give the audience a good idea on what instruments to use, how to use them, and how to process the data collected from the tests. We will cover coulombmeter, fieldmeter, electrostatic voltmeter and resistivity measurements.
