Electromagnet

Description

This apparatus spins an electrically charged brass wheel spin, without the aid of a motor. When the wheel electrified by a voltage source (battery), the slotted brass disc sets up eddy currents throughout the structure. This electricity is then attracted to 4 strong neodymium magnets, causing the wheel to spin.

Description

Helmholtz Coils are a special arrangement of coils that are placed in such a way as to generate a very uniform magnetic field between them when a current is applied. The strength of the magnetic field is proportional to the number of turns in the coils and the current applied to them. The Helmholtz Coils setup consists of two field coils mounted on a track to provide a uniform magnetic field between the coils. The proper separation for Helmholtz coils is marked on the track. A pair of precision coils and 400 turns of wire are wound on heat resistant former of about 150 mm diameter.

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.

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.
