Description

Includes

Insulated plate with 4mm connector socket, a pulse generator and a transformer with two 4mm plugs for its secondary winding, 35g of powdered sulphur and a flat brush.

Introduces students to the basic kinematics of two-dimensional motion.

  • A plotting electrode slides over a plane counter electrode that is insulated and covered in powdered sulphur
  • An AC voltage across the two electrodes results in the sulphur powder being attracted or repelled depending on the polarity of the plotting electrode
  • A trace thus appears in the powder with ridges that are formed at constant intervals of time
  • The distance between the ridges reflects the speed of the plotting electrode

Specifications:

  • Transformer: Safety isolating transformer, short-circuit proof
  • Output Voltage: 115-230V, safe to touch
  • Protective Resistance: 1Meg Ohm
  • Plate Dimensions: 390 x 270mm2

Can be used in conjunction with the pendulum and plotting electrode (U8405640) for experiments demonstrating Kepler's 2nd law of planetary motion or with a pair of elastic spheres and plotting electrode (U8405630) for experiments on elastic collisions.
