Van de Graaff Generator

Van de Graaff Generator

### Principle

$$Charge\ accumulation\ on\ conductor$$

### Maximum Potential

$$V=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Q}{R}$$

### Terminologies

- Q → Charge accumulated.

- R → Radius of conducting sphere.

### Conditions / Special Cases

Electric field inside conductor:

$$E=0$$

### Usage

- Used for producing high voltages.
