Abstract

Kelvinova kapaljka je vrsta elektrostatskog generatora koji radi na principu razdvajanja naboja elektrostatskom indukcijom. Svrha kapaljke je demonstracija principa elektrostatike tijekom studija, a njena izrada služila bi kasnije kao demonstracijski postav za opće fizike i osnove fizike. Kapaljku je moguće izraditi od jeftinih, učestalih materijala, što će se i učiniti u prvoj verziji njene izvedbe. Nakon što se time demonstrira princip rada kapaljke, izradit će se prijenosna, stabilna verzija koja će se služiti kao demonstracijski postav. Konačno, pomoću postava će se izvršiti fizikalno mjerenje dielektrične snage čestih materijala kao što je staklo.

Abstract (english)

The Kelvin Water Dropper is a kind of an electrostatic generator which works on the principle of charge separation by electrostatic induction. The purpose of the Kelvin Water Dropper is to demonstrate the principles of electrostatics and its design would later serve as a demonstration set for general physics courses. The Water Dropper can be made from cheap, accessible materials, which will be done in the first iteration of its design. After demonstrating the principle of operation of the Kelvin Water Dropper, a portable, stable version will be created and will serve as a demonstrational setup. Finally, using the setup, we will measure the dielectric strength of common materials such as glass.
