electrophori Sentence Examples
- An electrophori is a device that generates static electricity by using the principle of electrostatic induction.
- It consists of a circular metal plate, an insulating disc, and a metallic rod with a ball at one end.
- The metal plate is charged by rubbing it with a piece of cloth or fur, creating a positive charge on the plate.
- The insulating disc is then placed on top of the metal plate, separating the two surfaces.
- The negative charge from the metal plate is attracted to the positive charge on the insulating disc, creating a negative charge on the underside of the disc.
- The metallic rod is then brought close to the insulating disc, and the negative charge on the underside of the disc is transferred to the rod.
- The rod is then removed from the vicinity of the insulating disc, carrying away the negative charge.
- The process can be repeated multiple times, generating a continuous stream of static electricity.
- Electrophori are used in a variety of applications, including electrostatic experiments, dust collection, and particle accelerators.
- The electrophori was invented in the 18th century and is still used today as a simple and effective way to generate static electricity.
