What does the Van De Graaff Generator produces?
It produces a very high voltage of the order of 107 V
How do make static electricity?
Static electricity can be generated by a thing called a Van De Graff generator.A Van de Graaff generator is an electrostatic generator which uses a moving belt to accumulate very high electrostatically stable voltages on a hollow metal globe on the top of the stand. Invented in 1929 by American physicist Robert J. Van de Graaff, the potential differences achieved in modern Van de Graaff generators can reach 5 megavolts (courtesy of wikipedia) See the Related Links Below for more details.
What does vande graff generator do?
A Van de Graaff generator is an electrostatic generator which uses a moving belt to accumulate very high electrostatically stable voltages on a hollow metal globe on the top of the stand.
What are the limitations of van de graaff generator?
1.practically it is impossible to create potential of the order of 7 million volts. 2.its series connection allows only one route for the movement of charges.
Why does your hair stand up when touching a charged Van de Graaff generator?
The large-radius sphere of a Van de Graff generator holds considerable charge before arc discharge occurs. The Van de Graff generator gathers negative charges and it is released into your body when you touch the sphere. We all know that negatives repel each other so since your hair is charged with negative electrons, they break away from each other (not lie flat on your head) in an effort to repel.
How was the van de graaff generator discovered?
robert j van de graaff
Who made Van de Graaff generator?
Robert .j. van de graaff
What is mechanisms of van de graaff generator?
The purpose of the Van de Graff generator was for it to be used to study static charge
When was the van de graaff generator built?
Invented in 1929 by American physicist Rob. J. Van De Graaff
Where was the van de graaff generator built?
it was built in colorado.
Who is Robert van de Graaff?
Robert van de graaff was the inventor of the van de graaff generator and was also a scientistAnsweran artist from the 70' he made really good progressive rock music, highly recommended
What did Robert Van de Graaff invent?
He invented the electric generator.
Can you do an experiment with a van de graaff generator?
You can light a fluorescent bulb
What are facts about the Van de Graaff generator?
They are used to make peoples hair stand up on their head.
Who is better van de craft generator or cyclotron give reason?
I assume you mean the "van de Graaff generator". Better for what, exactly? From what I read, they serve different purposes. Specifically as a particle accelerator, the van de Graaff generator has been superseded by other designs.
Can van de graaff generator hold any amount of charge?
No, the Van de Graaff generator can produce a large amount of charge but does not hold the charge itself. The generator must be in motion in order to produce electricity. Once the motion stops, the charge is lost.
Van de graaff water?
