Flannel Rubber for Electrostatic Experiments
Model Number: MTEE-09
The Flannel Rubber is a 250 mm square friction material designed for electrostatic experiments involving charging by friction and static electricity. It can be rubbed against suitable electrostatic rods and materials to generate electric charge, making it a useful accessory for charge generation, attraction, repulsion, and comparative electrostatic investigations.
Product Specification
The Flannel Rubber is a practical friction accessory designed for experiments involving static electricity and electrostatic charging. It provides a convenient rubbing surface for use with suitable charging rods and insulating materials.
Micro Technologies supplies the Flannel Rubber in an approximate 250 mm square size, providing sufficient surface area for convenient handling during friction-charging experiments.
When rubbed against a compatible electrostatic material, friction can cause electrons to transfer between the two surfaces. This produces an electrostatic charge that can subsequently be investigated using suitable electrostatic apparatus.
The Flannel Rubber can be paired with charging rods such as ebonite, Perspex, polythene, and other compatible materials, depending on the experiment being performed.
It can also be incorporated into experiments involving electroscopes, pith balls, electrostatic pendulums, and charge-detection apparatus to investigate the behaviour of charged objects.
Its simple, reusable construction makes it a useful component of a complete electrostatics experiment setup.
