Ebonite Friction Rod
Product Code : JA-EE-7664
The Ebonite Friction Rod (product code JA-EE-7664) is a 300 x 12 mm ebonite rod for static electricity experiments. Ebonite is a good insulator and becomes negatively charged when rubbed with fur or wool, so the ebonite friction rod is the usual source of negative charge in class, paired with a glass rod rubbed with silk as the source of positive charge. Together they show that there are two kinds of charge and that like charges repel.
Specifications
The rod is ebonite, 300 mm long and 12 mm in diameter, matching the other rods in the friction rod range.
