Greetings,
How do you know what the true output voltage on a Van De Graaff generator is? Can it be measured? If a manufacturer advertises it as having an output voltage of 100,000 Volts, is this an idealistic, classroom quote or the true quote they have actually measured? If the output voltage advertised by the manufacturer is not the true, measurable voltage, what causes the discrepancy?
