Magnetic field demonstrator

Description

To demonstrate that when a current is passed through a conductor in a magnetic field, it is subjected to attraction or repulsion depending upon the direction of current in it. The apparatus consists of a plastic base 160 x 140 mm on which two contact pillars are mounted. Each pillar is provided with an external circuit. A balanced beam is supported by the pillars on two bearings which form the fulcrum. Two screwed masses are provided in the beam system, one moving vertically for the adjustment of sensitivity and the other moving horizontally for the adjustment of the equilibrium position, when no current is flowing. Scale marked 0 to 75 x 1 mm, rider of 1 gm. weight with instruction manual.

Description

Plastic bobbin with 2, 50 and 500 turns of insulated copper wire and rotatable on vertical axis is mounted on a moulded plastic base, with leveling screws and four terminals, with magnetometer mounted at the center of the bobbin.

Description

Non-magnetic metal pillar with carbon steel point, on stable base, overall height 110 mm

Description

Demonstrate laws of magnetic attraction and repulsion. Consists of a stand with 5 magnetic rings sealed in plastic case to reduce wear and breakage.
