Ebonite Rod for Electrotatic Experiments
Model Number: MTEE-04
The Ebonite Rod is a polished insulating rod designed for experiments involving static electricity, electrostatic charging, and charging by friction. Measuring approximately 300 mm in length and 13 mm in diameter, it can be rubbed with a suitable material to develop an electrostatic charge for use in a variety of electrostatics investigations.
Product Specification
The Ebonite Rod is a simple and reliable electrostatics accessory used for demonstrating the production and behaviour of static electric charge. Manufactured from insulating ebonite material, the rod is particularly suitable for experiments based on charging by friction.
When the ebonite rod is rubbed with a suitable friction material, electrons can be transferred between the surfaces, causing the rod to become electrically charged. The resulting static charge can then be used to demonstrate electrostatic attraction, repulsion, charge transfer, and related phenomena.
Micro Technologies supplies the rod with a polished surface for convenient handling and consistent experimental use. Its cylindrical construction provides a comfortable grip while allowing the rod to be used with various electrostatic accessories.
The rod measures approximately 300 mm long and 13 mm in diameter, providing a practical size for bench-top electrostatics experiments.
It can be used individually or in combination with electroscopes, pith balls, electrostatic pendulums, friction materials, and other compatible electrostatic demonstration apparatus.
