About this document
Triboelectric Series of Materials is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses static electricity and how a Van de Graaff generator works. It explains that static electricity is caused by an imbalance of electrons between two materials that contact and separate. A Van de Graaff generator produces very high voltages by using rollers to transfer a positive charge up a belt to a spherical terminal, generating voltages as high as 20 million volts for experiments. The position of materials in the triboelectric series determines how likely they are to gain or lose ele
