Consider a metal sphere connected to one end of the battery and the other end of the battery to be connected to the ground. Does the metal sphere become electrically charged with this method?
Thank you! I was off in the weeds for a few moments...vanhees71 said:...in Gaussian units.
So why do they use Van de Graaff to get charged in the laboratory when this method is simpler and less expensive.Meir Achuz said:This sphere will be charged to the extent Q=VR.
What is the difference in voltage for a Van de Graaff generator versus a battery?abdossamad2003 said:So why do they use Van de Graaff to get charged in the laboratory when this method is simpler and less expensive.
The battery voltage can be increased enough to match the voltage produced by the van devGraaffberkeman said:What is the difference in voltage for a Van de Graaff generator versus a battery?
Even a small Van de Graaff generator produces 50,000 volts or more. What kind of practical battery bank are you proposing to achieve that voltage?abdossamad2003 said:The battery voltage can be increased enough to match the voltage produced by the van devGraaff
