= Kelvin water dropper
{wiki=Kelvin_water_dropper}
The Kelvin water dropper is a classic electrostatic experiment that demonstrates the principles of charge generation and electrical conduction. It consists of a simple apparatus that uses falling water droplets to generate high voltage static electricity through a process known as the triboelectric effect, wherein friction between materials generates electric charge. \#\#\# Components and Operation: 1. **Structure**: The device typically consists of a tall vertical tube or container with two electrodes (often made of metal) positioned at two different heights.
