Franklin bells refer to a type of experimental apparatus used to demonstrate the principles of electrostatics, specifically the behavior of electric charges and the concept of electric potential. The device consists of two large metal bells or containers that are connected to each other, often mounted on a support. When an electrostatic charge is introduced to one of the bells, it creates an electric field that can cause the other bell to exhibit electrical effects, such as attracting or repelling small charged objects.
