Electrostatics Apparatus Set
Product Code : SCL-PL-12363
Electrostatics Apparatus Set (SKU SCL-PL-12363) is a set of components for demonstrating static electricity, electric charges and electric fields in physics teaching labs. It includes 30 mm conducting spheres, vessels with spherical and pointed electrodes, a rod with paper strips, a luminous panel, and bells and chains, all charged from an electrostatic source such as a Wimshurst machine. Science Lab Supplies manufactures the set at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and supplies schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors directly from that factory.
Specifications
The set brings together the pieces needed for classic electrostatic demonstrations: 30 mm conducting spheres, a vessel with a spherical electrode, a vessel with a pointed electrode, a rod with paper strips, a luminous panel, and bells with chains. Each piece connects to an electrostatic source such as a Wimshurst machine.

Applications and Experiments for the Electrostatics Apparatus Set
The set is used to demonstrate the fundamental behaviour of static charge: like charges repelling on the paper strips, charge collecting on spheres, discharge from pointed versus rounded electrodes, and charge transfer that rings the bells. It supports electric charges and fields chapters in secondary school and college physics courses.
- Class 8 science: charging by friction and the effects of static electricity.
- Class 12 physics (electric charges and fields): repulsion of like charges shown by the paper strips.
- Class 12 physics: charge concentration and discharge at pointed conductors compared with spherical ones.
- B.Sc. physics demonstrations: electrostatic induction and charge transfer with the bells and chains.
Electrostatic machines produce high voltages. Run demonstrations under teacher supervision, discharge each component before touching it, and keep the set away from anyone with a pacemaker or similar device.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each set contains 30 mm conducting spheres, a vessel with spherical electrode, a vessel with pointed electrode, a rod with paper strips, a luminous panel, and bells and chains. The electrostatic source, for example a Wimshurst machine, is a separate item that can be quoted alongside the set.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations are prepared for one set for a teacher's demonstration bench or for several sets across a department. Each states packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and a Wimshurst machine, friction rods or another electricity and magnetism lab kit for schools can be listed on it too.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Iraq, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia and Tanzania. Reach us through the contact page or the enquiry cart, and see the lab tender page if you are buying through a tender.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Electrostatics Apparatus Set include?
It includes 30 mm conducting spheres, a vessel with a spherical electrode, a vessel with a pointed electrode, a rod with paper strips, a luminous panel, and bells and chains.
Is an electrostatic source included?
The components are designed for connection to an electrostatic source such as a Wimshurst machine, which is quoted as a separate item. Add it to your enquiry if your lab does not already have one.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Science Lab Supplies manufactures the set. It is made at the company's own factory in Saha, Ambala, India, and the factory itself quotes and dispatches every order.
Is the set safe for student use?
The set is charged from a high-voltage electrostatic source, so it should be used in teacher-led demonstrations. Discharge components before handling and follow your school's electrical safety rules.
