NO....a metallic dome must be used ,so that cahrges get accumulated on it...a wooden block(insulator) cannot do that..

Is it advisable to use wooden sphere for the dome of a van de graaf genarator?

Using a wooden sphere for the dome of a Van de Graaff generator is not advisable as wood is not a conductive material, which is necessary for the generator to function properly. A metal sphere or other conductive material would be more suitable for the dome of a Van de Graaff generator.

Can a Van de Graaf generator kill you?

Yes. Some of the larger units can create potential differences of several hundred thousand volts with ease, and the really big ones push several million volts. And they can do this with a good ability to deliver a big shot of current at that potential. A jolt from a Van de Graaf generator working in those ranges would be fatal.

What are the uses of a Van de Graaf generator?

The basic use of a Van de Graaf generator is to separate electric charges and build them up, frequently for demonstration purposes. A "big" version can be used to provide a burst of energy for generating X-rays, or for accelerating electrons or protons. The accelerated charges find some practical applications as well as some uses in scientific investigations. It's an electrostatic generator, and it will create a considerable difference of potential.

Why does the Van der Graaf generator work better on dry days?

The electrons like (are attracted) to water. That's why you put water on your hair when it is full of static (electrons). They jump onto the water. So on humid days the electrons are on the water molecules, on dry days the belt in the Van der Graaf can gather the electrons and deposit them.
