How to choose electrostatics apparatus

  • Generator drive: the Van De Graaff Generator Hand Driven gives sparks of around 20 to 30 mm depending on how fast the handle is turned; the Van De Graaff Generator runs from a 230 V mains motor; the Van De Graaff Generator Premium offers motor or hand drive, a split dome and sparks up to 10 cm.
  • Detecting charge: the Gold Leaf Electroscope has a sliding front window for inserting ionising material; the Large Needle Electroscope has a transparent scale to read the angle of deflection; the Coulombmeter Kit gives a digital reading on a 3.5 digit display.
  • First experiments: the Electrostatic Strips show positive and negative charging by rubbing, and the Pith Ball Support holds a pair of pith balls on a string for attraction and repulsion.
  • Fields and capacitance: the E-Field Apparatus shows field patterns on an overhead projector; the Parallel Plate Capacitor Kit shows how capacitance depends on plate spacing and the medium between the plates.

Frequently asked questions

Which electrostatics apparatus produces the largest sparks?
The Van De Graaff Generator Premium uses one nylon and one Teflon roller for a double charging effect and gives sparks up to 10 cm. The Discharge Sphere, connected to the earth socket through its 4 mm hole, is used to discharge it.

What comes in the Van De Graaff Accessories Kit?
An oscillating sphere, a brush of hair, a spiked arm wheel, dancing balls, a neon tester and a plastic comb, for demonstrating how static charge behaves.

What do the Electrostatic Strips contain?
Ten clear polycarbonate strips that tend to charge positively and ten white polystyrene strips that tend to charge negatively when rubbed with a cotton duster.

What does the Neon Discharge Tube for Electrostatics show?
It shows charge and polarity: an orange glow appears at the negative electrode. The tube is 13 mm in diameter with an ignition voltage of 90 V.
