Even small voltages can lead to considerable forces over small distances. For the demonstration, a flat stone is laid on a brass plate. Initially, no attraction is observed.
Between stone and brass plate, 460 volts are applied, with the experimenter being part of the circuit. Now the plate sticks to the stone and can be lifted with it. When the circuit is interrupted and the stone discharged, the force disappears.
