Physics tour

For summer festivities, let’s have a special journey into some of our best Physics experiments! A nice ride from electrostatic to superconductivity, going through electromagnetism and, if lucky, some thermodynamics also! Explanations fully provided in English! Be welcome
For this hour together, we’ll go through some basics of electrostatics: talking about conductors, insulators and electrons. We’ll definitely make sparks! And see your hair rise over your head maybe! We’ll also make glowing electric discharges at low pressure. The link between electricity and magnetic field being made, we’ll see some magnets levitate thanks to superconductors that acquire special properties at low temperature. Hopefully we’ll see the triple point of nitrogen that occurs at -210°C! I’ll do the experiments, provide some explanations and let you ask the questions. Rich program that we hope you’ll enjoy!
