Abstract
The electric field of the earth will be determined. A parallel plate capacitor of area 1 m2 is attached to the end of a long bamboo pole. The capacitor is connected to a ballistic galvanometer calibrated to measure current pulses (charges). On a balcony outside the lecture hall, the capacitor is held with its plates horizontal.
