  2. Faraday's ice pail experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_ice_pail_experiment

    A metal object C (Faraday used a brass ball suspended by a nonconductive silk thread, [1] but modern experiments often use a small metal ball or disk mounted on an insulating handle [4]) is charged with electricity using an electrostatic machine and lowered into the container A without touching it. As it is lowered the charge detector's reading ...

    Benjamin Franklin Drawing Electricity from the Sky, an artistic rendition of Franklin's kite experiment painted by Benjamin West, c. 1816 The BEP engraved the vignette Franklin and Electricity (c. 1860) which was used on the $10 National Bank Note from the 1860s to 1890s.

  4. Static electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_electricity

    Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material. The charge remains until it can move away by an electric current or electrical discharge . The word "static" is used to differentiate it from current electricity , where an electric charge flows through an electrical conductor .

    Children interacting with the Winky Dink and You program. The central gimmick of the show, praised by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates as "the first interactive TV show", [3] was the use of a "magic drawing screen" — a piece of transparent vinyl plastic that stuck to the television screen by means of static electricity.

  7. Leyden jar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leyden_jar

    The Leyden jar was used to conduct many early experiments in electricity, and its discovery was of fundamental importance in the study of electrostatics. It was the first means of accumulating and preserving electric charge in large quantities that could be discharged at the experimenter's will, thus overcoming a significant limit to early ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin_water_dropper

    Lord Kelvin used this foundation of accumulated knowledge to, in 1859, create an apparatus involving the interaction of a stream of water with the Earth's static electric field to cause charge separation and subsequent measurement of charge to make atmospheric electricity measurements.
