Perspex Friction Rod
Product Code : JA-EE-7675
The Perspex Friction Rod (product code JA-EE-7675) is a 300 x 12 mm rod of Perspex, a clear acrylic plastic, for experiments involving static electricity. The Perspex friction rod is a good insulator and a practical, less fragile alternative to glass for class use, charging readily when rubbed with a cloth. It is used with electroscopes, pith balls and other rods to show attraction, repulsion and the different ways materials charge.
Specifications
The rod is Perspex (acrylic), 300 mm long and 12 mm in diameter, matching the size of the glass, ebonite and brass friction rods.
