Friction Rod: Polycarbonate Strip - 250mm x 25mm
B8L01491
Product code: B8L01491
Product Description
Polycarbonate Friction Rod (strip) for producing electrostatics charge by friction.
Dimensions:
- Length: 250mm
- Diameter: 25mm
Alternative rod materials are available to purchase separately:
- Ebonite - B8A47958
- Perspex - B8A47969
- Polythene - B8H26631
- Key Stage 3 Physics - Motion and Forces: Non-contact forces: gravity forces acting at a distance on Earth and in space, forces between magnets, and forces due to static electricity.
- Key Stage 4 Physics - Forces: Forces and fields: electrostatic, magnetic, gravity. Describe the production of static electricity, and sparking, by rubbing surfaces, and evidence that charged objects exert forces of attraction or repulsion on one another when not in contact and that these forces get stronger as the distance between them decreases. Explain how the production of sparks shows that similar forces exist between the positive and negative poles of a d.c. source. Explain these effects in terms of the transfer of electrons between substances giving them charges of opposite sign, that opposite charges attract and that charges of the same sign will repel.
