A Van de Graaff generator operates by transferring electric charge from a moving belt to a terminal, usually, a hollow metal ball. It is an electrostatic generator, similar in principle to what happens when you rub your feet against a carpet and touch your cat!

Accumulation of electric charges on a object?
The build up of a charge on an object can be referred to as a static build up charge.
Why does the van de graaff generator not work as well in wet weather?
The MOIST Air is a better conductor of ELECTRICITY and does not allow for the BUILD UP of a STATIC CHARGE within the Generator. You get more frequent SMALL DISCHARGES.
What apparatus found in science labs can cause your hair to stand on end?
The effect can be caused by a Van de Graaff generator which causes static electricity to build up to enormous voltages. They are demonstrated a many science museums.
What is a build up of charges on an object?
The build up of a charge on an object can be referred to as a static build up charge.
What is a good clue to describe static electricity?
build up of static charge
The buildup of charges on an object is called?
It is static electricity or in other words just static, or just a static charge.
What is the build-up of electric charge on an object?
Static charge is the buildup of electric charges on an object. This is a Biology question.
What electricity is a build up of a charge on an object?
Static electricity.
How do you build up static charge?
on yourself: on a dry (not humid) day (usually in winter), rub your feet wearing synthetic soled shoes, on the carpet, your body will build up static charge which you can discharge by grounding to other objects. you can build a static charge on a plastic rod by rubbing it with fur. air masses build static charges by rubbing against each other. these are just a few ways.
What is a buildup of charged particles?
It is when you charge a capacitor. When you walk across a carpet on a dry day, you build up a charge. It is discharged when you touch something.
What causes static electricity to build up?
A static charge builds up when two things are rubbing together.
How voltage build-up in a self-excited generator?
What can usually happen is the permanent magnets in the generator will become energized, and like static shocks, will store energy in them.
