Product Specification Sheet
Faraday Ice Pails Set
Model Number: MTEE-22
The Faraday Ice Pails Set consists of four nesting aluminium cylinders designed for electrostatic charge and induction experiments. The largest cylinder measures approximately 125 × 140 mm (diameter × height), while the smaller pails fit conveniently inside one another for compact storage. The set is suitable for investigations involving charge transfer, electrostatic induction, charge distribution, and Faraday ice pail experiments.
Product Specification
The Faraday Ice Pails Set is a practical electrostatics apparatus designed for investigations involving electric charge, electrostatic induction, and the behaviour of charge on conducting surfaces.
The set consists of four aluminium cylinders of different sizes. Each cylinder is designed to nest inside the next larger cylinder, providing a convenient and space-saving storage arrangement when the apparatus is not being used.
The largest pail measures approximately 125 mm in diameter and 140 mm in height, providing a practical conductive enclosure for electrostatic investigations.
Aluminium construction provides an electrically conductive surface suitable for experiments involving the transfer and distribution of electrostatic charge.
The pails can be incorporated into suitable experimental arrangements with an electroscope, electrometer, Coulomb meter, or compatible electrostatic charge source to investigate charge behaviour quantitatively or qualitatively.
The apparatus is particularly useful for demonstrating principles associated with Faraday's ice pail experiment, including electrostatic induction and the behaviour of charge on conducting surfaces.
