Woollen Rubber for Electrostatic Experiments
Model Number: MTEE-10
The Woollen Rubber is a 250 mm square friction material designed for experiments involving static electricity and electrostatic charging by friction. It can be rubbed against suitable charging rods and insulating materials to generate electrostatic charge, making it useful for attraction, repulsion, charge-transfer, and comparative friction experiments.
Product Specification
The Woollen Rubber is a practical electrostatics accessory designed to provide a suitable friction surface for generating static electric charge. It can be used with compatible charging rods and insulating materials during a variety of electrostatic investigations.
Micro Technologies supplies the Woollen Rubber in an approximate 250 × 250 mm square configuration, providing a convenient surface area for holding and rubbing against experimental materials.
When wool is rubbed against a suitable material, electrons can transfer between the contacting surfaces due to the triboelectric effect. This produces an electrostatic charge that can subsequently be observed using appropriate experimental apparatus.
The Woollen Rubber can be used with compatible ebonite, Perspex, polythene, and other electrostatic charging materials, depending on the required experiment and material combination.
It can also be used as part of experiments involving electroscopes, pith balls, electrostatic pendulums, and other charge-detection apparatus.
The material requires no electrical power source for basic friction-charging experiments, making it a simple and convenient addition to an electrostatics laboratory setup.
