Ebonite Friction Rod – 30cm × 12mm (Static Electricity Demonstration)

This high‑quality Ebonite Friction Rod is designed for reliable use in static electricity experiments and electrostatics demonstrations. Made from durable ebonite, the rod measures approximately 30cm in length and 12mm in diameter, offering an ideal size and weight for comfortable handling during classroom activities.

Ebonite’s excellent insulating properties make it a perfect material for generating negative charge when rubbed with wool or fur—an essential component of traditional electrostatic demonstrations.

Key Features

• Made from high‑quality ebonite for strong insulating performance
• Approximate size: 30cm length × 12mm diameter
• Lightweight and easy to handle during demonstrations
• Produces a strong negative static charge when rubbed
• Durable and ideal for repeated classroom use

Ideal for School Science Lessons & Practical Activities

The Ebonite Friction Rod is a classic and essential resource for teaching electrostatics at KS3, GCSE, and A‑Level. It is perfect for:

• Demonstrating static electricity by charging the rod through friction
• Comparing materials and their ability to gain or lose electrons
• Electric field and charge experiments using electroscopes or Coulomb-type demonstrations
• Investigating attraction, repulsion, and charge interactions
• Supporting physics lessons on particle behaviour and electric forces

Simple, effective, and durable, this ebonite friction rod is a key teaching tool for making electrostatics engaging, hands‑on, and memorable in school science lessons.
