J4-24: FORCE ON DIELECTRIC IN ELECTRIC FIELD

ID Code: J4-24
Purpose: Demonstrate the force on a dielectric in an electric field.
Description: Two wire electrodes extend into a bath of dielectric oil, as seen in the photograph above. When a potential of 2500 volts is impressed between the wires a force is exerted on the dielectric in that region, causing the oil to rise between the two wires, as seen in the close-up photographs below.
