The IEC "Electrophorus" is the classic device for collecting and removing the electrostatic charge from the combination of a metal plate against an insulating sheet with the electrophorus on the opposite side of the insulating sheet. The three devices form a capacitor that can store a charge. The electrophorus is a flat disc of metal fixed to a very insulating handle. See also EM1781-001 and EM1782-001 for the other sizes in the IEC Electrophorus range. For a Capacitance Demonstration Kit, see AR1080318.
