Experiment 72 | THE CAVENDISH ELECTRIC FORCE EXPERIMENT

🧪 Science Experiments That Changed the World

Figure 1, view larger image

Using a torsion balance, scientists measured the force between electric charges, similar to how gravity was measured earlier.


This helped establish Coulomb’s Law, describing how electric charges attract or repel each other.


It showed that electric force follows predictable mathematical rules.

Example: like magnets attracting or repelling, but measured precisely.


• Measured electric force

• Led to Coulomb’s Law

• Showed predictable charge behavior

• Important in electromagnetism
