Description
When two objects made from different materials are rubbed and immediately separated, negative charges or electrons are then transferred from a surface of one object to another one, depending on material of each object. The charge transfer process due to rubbing is called “triboelectrification.” This study aimed to measure transferred triboelectric charges by using two methods. The first method is to measure the triboelectric charges using Faraday’s cage and Vernier charge sensor. The second method is to use the Darlington transistor circuit consisting of two transistors to amplify current induced by electric field of triboelectric charges. The measured values of triboelectric charges from both methods are compared.
