Four 25-cm lengths of clear plastic tape and a metric ruler are needed. Stick two pieces of tape side-by-side, about 10 cm apart, on your desk top. Pull the third and fourth pieces of tape between your thumb and forefinger several times. Slowly bring the pieces, which have similar charges, toward one another. Observe what happens if you bring a piece of tape pulled from your desk top close to a piece pulled between your fingers.
