Analogy between the Earth's gravitational field and the electric field, conservative fields. Michael Faraday, lines of force and the electric field vector between two electrodes. What is a line of force in an electric field? Properties of lines of force in the electric field. Lines of force between a pair of straight, parallel electrodes with opposite electric charges. Lines of force between a pair of point electrodes with opposite electric charges. Lines of force between a ring electrode and a centered point electrode, with opposite electric charges. Lines of force between a straight electrode and a point electrode with opposite electric charges. Lines of force between two straight electrodes with opposite charges and a ring between them, the Faraday cage, and electrostatic shielding. Electric potential and the amount of charge accumulated in the generator. Electric potential and the work done to displace an electric charge. The natural unit of electric charge and the amount of electric charge. Surface charge density. Measuring the potential on the outer surface of the generator sphere. Measuring the surface charge density of the generator sphere. Spark width in the Van de Graaff generator and dielectric strength. Assessing the spark width produced by the generator and some factors that may intervene. The operating principle of the foil electroscope and the distribution of charges in a conductor. Turning on a fluorescent lamp without contact with the generator. Turning on a neon lamp without contact with the generator. Making an electric fountain. Repelling strips of paper with the generator. Simulating a lightning rod with the generator. Making hair stand on end with the electrostatic generator. The tourniquet, the effect of electric wind, with the generator, etc. Note: The generator was designed for use in different geographic locations, including coastal areas. Its bearings are shielded, the motor is built-in, preventing contamination of the cargo conveyor belt, and the motor belt is not exposed for operator protection.
