| Located in [:ElectrostaticsCabinet:Electrostatics Cabinet], A2 Electrophorus = "charge-bearer". Place flat acrylic plate on grounded conducting plane (not shown). Rub plate with fur to charge it negative. Place electrophorus on plate, momentarily ground top surface of electrophorus. Remove electrophorus. Potential of electrophorus may be as high as 30 kV The department has two electrophoruses of different sizes.

Setup:
- There is no setup procedure
Cautions, Warnings, or Safety Concerns:
- Our large Electrophorus can deliver a potential as high as 30 kV and can be an unpleasant shock but not too harmful.
Demonstration:
Small Electrophorus:
- Place flat acrylic plate on grounded conducting plane (not shown).??(Check)
- Rub plate with the rabbit fur. This will negatively charge the acrylic plate.
- Place Electrophorus on plate
- Momentarily ground top surface of electrophorus to the same grounding plate that the acrylic plate is on.??(Check)
- Lift the electrophorus off the acrylic plate.
- Bring your finger to close to the electrophorus and a spark will jump.
- To repeat, start at step 3.
Large Electrophorus:
- Rub the glass plate with the rabbit fur. This will negatively charge the acrylic plate.
- Place Electrophorus on plate
- Momentarily ground top surface of electrophorus using the pice of alummum foil coming from the grounding plate benieth the electrophorus.
- Lift the electrophorus off the glass plate.
- Bring your finger to close to the electrophorus and a large spark will jump.
- To repeat, start at step 2.
