ACCESSORIES FOR VAN DE GRAAFF GENERATOR Lightening Plate (0337)

Product Code : PHE0045

Description: Comprises small, conductive leaves fixed on top of an insulating plate to form a zigzag path with small spacing between adjacent leaves, with provision for electrical connections at either end. Demonstrates that the electrical discharge follows the path of least resistance. When connected, high electrostatic potential from the generator, results in the flow of electricity through the leaves in the form of spark jumping across the gaps between the leaves. Can be used on insulating stand.
