Friction Rod Acrylic. 3/8 inch diameter x 10 inches length. Pack 10

GSC International 506-7-10 Friction Rod Acrylic. 3/8 Inch Diameter X 10 Inches Length. Pack 10. Useful in a Physics Classroom When Studying Electrostatic Charge. Rub the Rods with Wool Friction rods are useful in physics classrooms for exploring electrostatics. Rub the acrylic rod with a wool cloth to generate static charge and demonstrate fundamental principles like attraction, repulsion, and charge transfer. These rods are ideal for traditional labs, STEM learning environments, and homeschool settings. Material Properties: Acrylic construction supports charge generation through surface friction Electron Transfer via Friction: Rubbing induces negative or positive charge depending on the paired material Triboelectric Effect: Demonstrates how different materials rank in their electron affinity Charge Separation: Insulating material retains surface charge to simulate static buildup Electrostatic Demonstrations: Use to show effects like water bending, object movement, or charge detection
