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.
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 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
What will happen if you touch the van de graaff generator?
It's probably that the hallow sphere is protecting the electrode

What does the van de graaff generator used for?
it creates an electric field around it self
How does a Van de Graaff generator build up a static charge?
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!
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
