Ebonite rod
Whatsapp Order
An ebonite rod is a hard, durable material made by vulcanizing natural rubber with a high percentage of sulfur, typically around 30-40%. It is black or dark brown in color and has insulating properties, making it ideal for experiments involving static electricity. When rubbed with materials like wool or fur, it becomes negatively charged due to the transfer of electrons. Its resistance to electricity and ability to hold a charge makes it a key tool in physics for demonstrating electrostatic phenomena.

Uses
- Electrostatic experiments: Ebonite rods are often rubbed with fur or wool to demonstrate the generation of negative charge. This is a key tool in physics experiments to study static electricity.
- Inducing charge: By charging an ebonite rod and bringing it near objects, it can induce a charge or repel/attract other charged objects. This helps in teaching principles of charge interactions.
- Van de Graaff generator experiments: Ebonite rods may be used to manipulate or observe the effects of charge in electrostatic generators.
- Coulomb’s law demonstrations: Ebonite rods are used to illustrate Coulomb’s law by showing the forces between charged bodies.

Barometer tubes
A barometer tube is a slender, sealed, and typically transparent tube used in barometers to measure atmospheric pressure. It is usually filled with a liquid, often mercury, but sometimes water or another fluid, which rises or falls within the tube in response to changes in atmospheric pressure. The height of the liquid column in the tube serves as an indicator of the current atmospheric pressure, with higher pressure causing the liquid to fall and lower pressure causing it to rise. This measurement helps in predicting weather changes and understanding atmospheric conditions.

beaker pyrex
A glass beaker is a cylindrical, open-top container made of glass, typically with graduated volume markings on its side. It is commonly used in laboratories for holding, mixing, and heating liquids, as well as for performing various experiments and chemical reactions. Glass beakers come in various sizes and are designed to provide easy observation of the contents and to withstand temperature changes without significant deformation or chemical interaction with the substances being used.
