A silk cloth ideal for electrostatic investigations. Dimensions (L x W): 300 x 300 mm.

This Parallel Plate Capacitor demonstrates the working of capacitor; a device which allows the storage of electrical energy in the electric field created between a pair of conductors on which electric charges of equal magnitude, but opposite polarity, have been placed. The apparatus will show the dependence on capacity to the distance between the plates and the nature of the medium between them. Dielectric materials can be placed between the plates for further investigation.

This apparatus allows visualisation of electric fields between various electrode configurations, in a similar way to how iron filings allow visualisation of magnetic fields. It is constructed from transparent acrylic, which allows it to be placed on an overhead projector for class demonstrations but can also be used on white surface for use with visualisers or for direct observation by smaller groups. In order to create electric fields large enough to influence the particles, a high voltage, low current 2-5kV EHT power supply is required. Apparatus includes electrodes, clear acrylic base with 4 mm sockets to clamp electrodes and connect power supply, petri dishes and instructions. Also requires liquid paraffin (PA4452 or PA4454 and semolina (not supplied). Base dimensions (L x W x H): 150 x 150x 65 mm.

A hand driven Van de Graaff generator, which is a very effective unit for introducing electrostatics. The length of the sparks generated is wholly dependent upon the speed at which the user turns the handle but sparks of around 20-30 mm are comfortably achievable. Dimensions (H Dome x Dia.): 400 x 200 mm.
