About This Product
Rubbing different rods gives positive or negative charge, which students identify by testing each against a charged electroscope. The set supports the first electrostatics practicals on charge transfer and separation. Laboratories and colleges in Venezuela, Rwanda, Maldives, Guyana and Jordan can buy the Set of 5 friction rods through an export order.
