Electricity

For observing magnetic field.
Grease free filing in plastic bottles. Pack of 500g.

For showing the molecular nature of magnetism. Can be temporarily magnetised by stroking with a magnet and demagnetised by shaking when the filings fall out of line.
Consists of a (borosilicate) glass tube 10cm long with a bulb at one end filled with iron filings.

For creating frictional electricity with materials like silk, wool, fur for charging electroscopes etc..
Approximate dimensions of solid rods are: (l x d),
250-300 x 10-13mm.

For producing electrostatic charges on friction rods, electrophorous plates etc.
Approximately 30cm square pads.

For generating static electric charges and causing electric discharges. Relative to Van de Graaf it produces higher current with lower voltage.
Consists of two high resistance plastic disks of diameter 25mm approx, with equally spaced metal sectors. The discs are supported in two rigid upright supports, rotating in opposite directions with a hand crank. Provided with a system of induced charge collecting brushes, adjustable ball-ended electrodes and cylindrical Leyden jar capacitors for obtaining higher potential. Produces substantial opposite charges which are deposited in the capacitors and on metal spheres. A rapid sequence of sparks can be generated by lowering the system’s capacitance. Mounted on insulated wooden base.
