Gordon Bates / Arizona Daily Wildcat This Van De Graf Gnerator builds up charge in the sphere. The excess charge in the sphere is transfered to the volunteer whose hair is shown standing on end. This is because each strand of hair has a net charge that is the same as the net charge of neighboring strands of hair. The repulsion is really caused by the fact that like charges repel, so all the likely charges hairs on the head of the volunteer tend toward the furthest distance they can be from one another.
