Electrostatic spraying
Electrostatic spraying
An electrostatic sprayer gives every liquid droplet the same sign of charge. Like charges repel, so the droplets spread into a fine, even mist rather than joining into large drops.
Step-by-step lessons on Edexcel GCSE Physics 11.2 Uses, dangers and electric fields, covering 11.2.1 Uses of electrostatic charge, 11.2.2 Dangers of sparking, 11.2.3 Electric fields, and 11.2.4 Electric fields and static electricity. Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Master the required practical work and core equations early, since both papers can draw on content and maths skills from across the whole specification.
