DEMO: Electrostatic Attraction and Repulsion

Using charged teflon rod and tape, cat fur, and glass wool, we show both repulsive and attractive electrostatic forces.

This is one of the best Physics channels i saw, and i just only watched a couple of short videos for now.
Thank you for sharing!
Lots of hugs from Argentina!

Sir,
I'm in class 12 and searching for physical experiments
& And I found yours channel
Sir amazing 😀 experiment
I'm from India.
I little know English.
I hope you must understand.

[yadavjee]

Sir am from india watch ... great demo

[aliyuibrahim]

watching from Nigeria and we are very grateful sir, your teaching is so much easier and understandable you just gained a new subscriber 🔔 sir

If you rub the fur against itself, does it become negative and push the tape away?

[ericr]

Why didn't the positively charged fur repel the glass fibers? I think protons do not repel.

[Jeanye-drzp]

Can I ask what else to substitute glass wool? Its a bit difficult to aquire over here

THANK YOU SO MUCH
This helped me Emensely

Have you realised yet that electrostatics causes eletron motion by mass? I have, I making a generator using the priciple, considering that greater than 100% efficiency is impossible I've made a discovery, we are slightly wrong about electromagnetics.

There is a power gain in establishing magnetic fields with electrons, but there is a power loss moving electrons with magnetic fields. Like a stirling engine has a COP to concentrate heat energy, but an efficiency rating to turn that heat energy back into mechanical energy. The end result in storing energy is 100% efficient, but there is a gain in one step and a loss in the other.

Believe me or don't, I don't care. The relationship between forces is clearly more complex than what I was taught in college and what we think we know today.

Moving electrons by mass, physicially creating charge separation establishes voltage fields that an electromagnetic generator can only dream of. The limit to power production become the capacitance of the plates and the rate of repetition of the electron pumping cycle.

As long as I leave a current path open, there is virtually no resistance against me because I weight kilograms and an amps worth of electricity weighs a billionth of a gram.

All you have to think of is: how hard picoamps of electrons are pulling to stick a ballon to the ceiling then imagnine if you had the same charge field except the electrons are free to move.

Moving electrons by mass is easy.

Could electrostatic forces describe a relationship between mater and antimatter or the material things in the universe and dark matter. Where dark matter is attracting the matter in in the universe and matter is repulsive to antimatter? 😊 what a World we live in.. so that our third dimensional world relpulses the fourth dimension 😮

very good but i don't care dhanayad apka

If I were 20 million light-years away from the earth 🌍 would I observe myself at the centre of a 18.7 million year old universe?
