Glass Rod for Static Electricity

Whatsapp Order

Glass Rod for Static Electricity is a smooth, cylindrical rod made from high-quality glass designed specifically for generating static electricity through friction. Commonly used in physics laboratories and educational demonstrations, this rod serves as a fundamental tool to study electrostatics by producing and transferring electric charges when rubbed with materials like silk or wool. The rod’s chemically resistant, durable glass surface allows repeated use without degradation. It is an essential apparatus for teaching concepts such as charge generation, attraction, repulsion, and the behavior of static electricity in various materials.
