Study Notes
Electrostatic Generator
- An electrostatic generator produces a high-voltage electrostatic charge.
History of Electrostatic Machines
- The development of electrostatic machines began in earnest in the 1600s.
Manual Electrostatic Generators
- Manual electrostatic generators work by using a manual operation to generate a static electric charge.
- The manual operation involves moving a material, such as a rubber rod or a piece of amber, against another material, such as hair or fur, to transfer electrons.
- The transfer of electrons creates a difference in electric potential, resulting in a high-voltage electrostatic charge.
