About This Product
When a sharp metal point is held at a high voltage, charge leaks from it into the air, and the reaction of the escaping charge turns the wheel. This is why the star wheel spins, and it shows that charge collects most strongly at sharp points. In school physics the whirl is connected to an electrostatic source through the 4 mm socket and used to explain point discharge, as in lightning conductors. School Lab Equipment India supplies the Electric Whirl across India and can export it to Papua New Guinea, Jordan, Mauritius, Ghana, Samoa and Antigua and Barbuda.
