Abstract
A special powder is used to show how static electricity is distributed on materials such as paper. Red particles of this powder are attracted to positively charged areas and blue particles are attracted to negatively charged areas. Paper from heat‐set printing presses shows streaks of static electricity generated by idling rollers and shifting patterns of static electricity generated in the folder, often with opposite charges on the same sheet of paper.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
