Spherical conductor Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-ES-12911
The Educational Instrument Spherical conductor is an electrostatics demonstration accessory used to show how electric charge behaves on a rounded conducting surface. A spherical conductor provides a simple, visual way to explain charge distribution, electric potential, induced charge, and the difference between rounded and pointed conductors.
This apparatus is suitable for use with compatible electrostatic generators, electroscopes, proof planes, and static electricity machines. It helps teachers demonstrate why charge spreads over a conductor and why a smooth spherical surface reduces point-discharge effects.

How to Use the Spherical conductor
Place the Spherical conductor on a clean, dry, stable laboratory bench.
Mount the conductor securely on its insulated support or recommended stand.
Connect or position it near a compatible electrostatic generator as required by the demonstration.
Charge the conductor gradually under teacher supervision.
Use a suitable detector, electroscope, or demonstration accessory to observe charge behaviour.
Compare the result with a pointed conductor if the lesson includes shape-based charge distribution.
Stop the electrostatic source and discharge the conductor safely before handling.
Safety note: Use only under trained supervision. Keep hands dry, avoid touching charged conductors, and discharge the apparatus before adjustment, removal, or storage.
Care & Maintenance
Store the Spherical conductor in a dry cabinet to reduce moisture-related charge leakage.
Keep the conducting surface clean, smooth, and free from dust, oil, or corrosion.
Inspect the insulated support and mounting point before every demonstration.
Do not use the apparatus if the conductor, support, or connector is loose or damaged.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a spherical conductor apparatus used for?
A spherical conductor apparatus is used to demonstrate charge distribution, electrostatic induction, conductor charging, electric fields, and electric potential in physics laboratories.
Why is a spherical conductor used in electrostatics?
A spherical conductor is used because its rounded shape helps demonstrate how charge spreads over a conducting surface without the strong point-discharge effect seen at sharp points.
Can the Spherical conductor be used with a Van de Graaff generator?
Yes, it can be used with a compatible Van de Graaff generator or other suitable electrostatic machine. Final mechanical and electrical compatibility should be confirmed before purchase.
Is this apparatus suitable for school laboratories?
Yes. The Spherical conductor is suitable for school and college physics laboratories when used under teacher supervision and proper electrostatic safety precautions.
Does the Spherical conductor have a capacity?
No. The Spherical conductor is a non-volumetric electrostatics apparatus, so liquid capacity or measuring capacity is not applicable.
What should be checked before using the conductor?
Check that the conductor is dry, the surface is clean, the support is stable, and the electrostatic apparatus can be discharged safely after use.
