Glass Rod for Static Electricity

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.

PITH BALLS ON STAND

 Product Description Pith Balls on Stand are lightweight, spherical objects typically made from dried plant pith (spongy plant tissue), suspended from insulating threads and mounted on a non-conductive support structure. These classical electrostatics demonstration tools are used in physics laboratories to visually illustrate principles of static electricity, charge induction, electric forces, and Coulomb’s Law. The balls are extremely lightweight and react readily to electrostatic forces when charged objects are brought nearby, making them ideal for teaching foundational electricity concepts. The stand is usually composed of a plastic or acrylic base and vertical support to ensure stability and electrical insulation during experiments.
