Product Summary
These Conductive Spheres (two per set) can be used to store charge or to investigate the charge distribution on one or two spherical conductors. A terminal on the bottom of each sphere provides a connection point for the power supply. Each sphere is attached to a heavy base (for stability) with an insulating rod. The spheres are 13 cm in diameter and 30 cm high.
