EST-19 Conical Conductor (Large)

Our conical conductor comprises of a brass Cone which is mounted on an ebonite rod.

This assembly is fitted on a metal base.

In a conical sphere, the electric field intensity is highest at the tip of the cone, leading to a non-uniform distribution of electric field.

Therefore, students can appreciate how the process of charge expulsion is faster in a conical conductor, due to the development of a potential gradient.
