18.8 Applications of Electrostatics

• The person's hair is showing the repulsion of like charges while touching the metal sphere.

• There are many applications of electrostatics covered in this module.

• The first was built in 1931 by Robert Van de Graaff based on suggestions from Lord Kelvin.
• Van de Graaffs use smooth and pointed surfaces and conductors to generate large static charges.

• An excess charge can be deposited on the sphere because it moves quickly to the outer surface.
• There are practical limits because the large electric fields polarize and eventually ionize surrounding materials, creating free charges that allow it to escape.
• It is within practical limits to have a voltages of 15 million volts.

• A battery (A) supplies excess positive charge to a pointed conductor, the points of which spray the charge onto a moving belt near the bottom.
• The conductor on top picks up the charge.
• The charge doesn't stay inside the sphere but moves to its outside surface.
• A positive sphere is created by an ion source inside the sphere.

• You can use a comb to lift paper.
• It might be better to tear the paper rather than cut it.

• A drum is sprayed with a positive charge from a device called a corotron.
• When in the dark and exposed to light, selenium is an insulator and a conductor.

• The drum's surface is exposed to an image in the second stage.
• The positive charge is neutralized when the image is light.
• The image has been transferred to the drum in dark areas.

• The third stage sprays a dry black powder with a negative charge so that it will be attracted to the positive regions of the drum.
• A blank piece of paper is given a higher positive charge than the drum so that it can pull the toner from the drum.
• The paper is passed through heated pressure rollers, which melt and permanently adhere the toner within the fibers of the paper.

• Dry copying is based on electrostatics.
• The major steps in the process are the charging of the photoconducting drum, transfer of an image creating a positive charge duplicate, and transfer of toner to the paper.
• The paper is heat treated and the drum is cleansed for the next copy.

• The laser printer can achieve high-quality output because of the precision with which laser light can be controlled.
• Many laser printers have computers that are more powerful than the ones that give them the raw data to be printed.

• Identifying the physical principles involved in the problem is the first step.
• The second step is to find a solution to the unknown.
