When doing the "one charged, one uncharged capacitor shorting" experiment,
get yourself an AM radio, tune it to a frequency unused in your area, and
place it close to the capacitors.  It's the best way to prove to doubting
students that the energy lost is mainly in the form of EMR.  (For additional
fun, use an AM/FM radio and do the demo twice....!)
