The jar may be charged by repeatedly touching the knob with the charged plate of the electrophorus or by connecting the inner coating to one knob of an electrical machine and the outer coating to the other knob.
The theory of the electrophorus is very simple, provided the student has clearly grasped the principle of induction.
B C, and thus insulated from the table and earth; the electrophorus (Exp.
The different steps in the action of the electrophorus are shown graphically in Figs.
Better results will be obtained by using the charged electrophorus cover as the source of electrification, instead of E S.
When the positively charged electrophorus cover is held above the negatively charged ebonite sheet, a very strong electric field exists between them.
Electrification easily passes from points, and the electrophorus may be easily and silently discharged by holding a pointed pin near it (Exp.
The principle of this mode of accumulating the two electric ethers in some measure resembles that of Volta's Electrophorus and Bennet's Doubler.
Many references to original papers connected with the electrophorus will be found in A.
His electrophorus in one form consisted of a disk of non-conducting material, such as pitch or resin, placed between two metal sheets, one being provided with an insulating handle.
The study of Volta's electrophorus at once suggested the performance of these cyclical operations by some form of rotation instead of elevation, and led to the invention of various forms of doubler or multiplier.
He states, however, that the use of a condenser in connexion with an electrophorus to make evident and multiply weak charges was due to T.
Volta himself devised a double and reciprocalelectrophorus and also made mention of the subject of multiplying condensers in a paper published in the Phil.
The electric eel (Electrophorus electricus), the most powerful of electric fishes, is not an eel, but allied rather to the sucker or carp.
Day, is a live example of the electric eel (Electrophorus electricus) which has in its electric organs the means of showing when it is affected by anger or terror.
I first excite the electrophorus in the usual manner, and you see that it then influences a charge in its top plate; the charge in the resinous compound is known as negative, while the charge induced in its top plate is known as positive.
A series of electric sparks may be obtained by an ordinary electrical machine, the electrophorus machines of Holtz and Teploff, &c.
The electrophorus consists of an insulated conducting plate applied to an insulated electric.
The electrophorus is used as follows: The plate is first electrified by rubbing or beating with fur or a woolen cloth.
How many charges may be produced by an electrophorus before the plate needs to be electrified again?
The electrophorus consists of two parts, a pan filled with a resinous mixture, and a cover which has been completely covered with tinfoil.
The vulcanite electrophorus shown in our first engraving consists of a plate of vulcanite about one-third of an inch in thickness; one or more small pieces of tin foil about the size of a playing card are pasted on one side of the plate.
The electrophorus is then placed on a table, and the surfaces are successively rubbed with the palm of the hand.
An eight-inch electrophorus ought to give an inch spark if properly made and charged.
You should have the electrophorus raised so as not to have to lift the cover too high each time, and you should hold the jar by its bottom, thus giving the necessary connection with the earth.
Do not let your clothes get too near the electrophorus during your experiment, and keep all pointed things as far away from it as possible.
Before we deal with the cylindrical machine we must, however, devote a few words to the electrophorusby which the jar can be charged if desired.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "electrophorus" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
