Question
Explain the working of electrostatic precipitator along with diagram.

Answer

It. has electrode wires maintained at a very high voltage which produce a corona that releases electrons.

These electrons get attached to the dust particles and gives them a net negative charge. The collecting plates are grounded to attract the negatively charged dust particles' Thus, when the air passes through the collecting plate, it gets cleaned. Velocity of air between the-plares.is maintained at low value to allow the dust to fall on the collecting plate.
