Plates For Simple Cell

Description

Students can explore how a simple electric motor works by doing a series of investigations. This St. Louis motor can be adjusted so students can study the effect of voltage and position of the brushes on the commutator. The motor consists of a two pole DC armature. The brush holder, with two heavy binding post terminals, can be rotated for experiments. The permanent bar magnets, supported by clamps, can be adjusted to the desired location. This apparatus requires 4 D cell batteries with holder (not included) or a power supply and two connecting leads (not included).

Description

Enables students to investigate nature and properties of electricity by using simple circuits which are easily constructed on a base board. The connector system uses P.C.B. strips with cut-out sections whose ends can easily be inserted in spring terminals, ensuring low contact resistance and ease of connection. The kit consists of : 1. Baseboard, plastic, with spring terminals and three battery holders. (1) 2. Batteries. (3) 3. Lamps 1.25 V MES. (10) 4. Lamp holders mounted on PCB connectors. (6) 5. Plain connector PCBs. (10) 6. Wire wound potentiometer with crocodile clip connections. (1) 7. Silicon diode. (1) 8. Resistor 3.9 ohm 2.5 W (1) 9. Pair Leads, red, with crocodile clip at each end. (1) 10. Pair Leads, black, with crocodile clip at each end (1) 11. Pair Leads, yellow, with crocodile clips at each end. (1) 12. Switches mounted on PCB. connectors (2) 13. PVC rod 15 cm long (1) 14. Soft iron nails, 5 cm long (2) 15. Bare copper wire, swg 20 (2 m) 16. Bare eureka wire, swg 34 (2 m) 17. Plastic covered copper wire (2 m) 18. Electrode support (1) 19.
