Belongs to:
Computer and office devices
Synonyms:
Parer, Topper
Description:

A pencil sharpener is a mechanical device for sharpening a pencil's writing point. Pencil sharpeners can be operated manually or by an electric motor and the latter produces electric and magnetic fields.

Frequency ranges:
  • 50–60 Hz
Type of field:
electric and magnetic
