| Abstract | Summary form only given, as follows. Negatively charged dust particles have been confined in vacuum in the spherical electrostatic potential surrounding a small aluminum sphere biased positively. The confinement system is similar to one in which dust is confined in orbits in the logarithmic potential around a biased wire. The spherical geometry results in a nearly Keplerian potential. The purpose of the experiment is to investigate orbital phenomena in celestial mechanics such as the occurrence of orbital resonances and chaotic dynamics. The dust particles are hollow glass microballoons 50 microns in diameter. These are dropped past an emissive filament and are charged to a potential of -30 volts corresponding to a charge of /spl sim/6/spl times/10/sup 5/ electrons. The particles drop into a rectangular chamber with a 12.7 mm diameter aluminum sphere in the center. The particles are trapped by increasing the potential on the sphere from zero to -10 kV. The precession due to gravity is reduced by applying an additional upward electrostatic force created by biasing the upper and lower surfaces of the trap. The potential on the stalk supporting the sphere is approximately matched to a 1/r potential by biased concentric cylinders. Particles are observed to be trapped for several minutes before striking the center conductor. The orbital motion is visible and has been videotaped. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
