unusual facts about Faraday's ice pail experiment


Faraday's ice pail experiment

Stray static electric charges on the experimenter's body, clothes, or nearby apparatus, as well as AC electric fields from mains-powered equipment, can induce additional charges on parts of the container or charged object C, giving a false reading.


Cauldwell, Bedford

Dancers in Mourning

An old friend of Albert Campion, Uncle William Faraday, has written a successful book that has been turned into a hit musical comedy.

Faraday School kidnapping

The Faraday School kidnapping occurred on 6 October 1972 at a one-teacher school in the village of Faraday in Victoria, Australia, where two unemployed friends, Edwin John Eastwood and Robert Clyde Boland, kidnapped six female pupils and their teacher for a $1,000,000 ransom.

Faraday-efficiency effect

Lacking any other plausible explanation, the anomalous excess heat produced during such electrolysis was attributed by Pons and Fleischmann to cold fusion.

Fred Barnard

Frederick was married to Alice Faraday (1847–1952) on the Isle of Wight on 11 August 1870.

Gents' of Leicester

Its main design and manufacturing centre and headquarters were at the Faraday Works in Temple Road, Leicester; but after World War II, the company expanded into nearby Kibworth.

Graham Hurley

Jean-Marc Barr and Bruno Solo headline the series, portraying Joe Faraday and Paul Winter respectively.

Jason Farradane Award

Of Central European origin, his commitment to science was reflected in the name he created for himself - a combination of Faraday and Haldane, two scientists he particularly admired.

John Meurig Thomas

With the synthetic flair of Humphry Davy and the brilliance of his hero Faraday, we are led by the author to a feast of contemporary masterworks of chemical reactivity, prodded, by design, into the service of humanity.

London equations

To obtain the second equation, take the curl of the first London equation and apply Faraday's law,

Magnetorotational instability

This induced electric field can now itself induce further changes in the magnetic field \boldsymbol B according to Faraday's law,

Philip Michael Faraday

As a producer, Faraday presented The Chocolate Soldier (1910), Nightbirds (1912), The Five Frankforters (described as a "Viennese banking comedy", 1912), The Girl in the Taxi (1912), The Girl Who Didn't (1913), and Mamzelle Tralala (1914), all at the Lyric Theatre.

Sarge Steel

He was apparently the head of a small agency known as the CBI (Central Bureau of Intelligence), which also included King Faraday, and Faraday's two well known agents Richard Dragon and Ben Turner.

Snubber

Snubbers are frequently used in electrical systems with an inductive load where the sudden interruption of current flow leads to a sharp rise in voltage across the current switching device, in accordance with Faraday's law.

Vernadsky Research Base

The base was renamed Faraday Station in August 1977 in honour of British scientist Michael Faraday.
