Magnetic Field Apparatus

Description

For investigating the magnetic field associated with a solenoid coil. Coil size 51 x 92 mm.(diameter x length) approx.,diameter of wire 1.5 mm. Magnetic field Demo, long solenoid

Description

This apparatus demonstrates the magnetic field patterns associated with the different shapes of current carrying conductors. Comprises three conductors, each of different shape/configuration – straight rectangular, circular loop and solenoid all mounted on a plastic base. Each configuration is provided with a pair of 4 mm sockets to connect them to a low voltage DC power source, with output current not exceeding 5A With the included iron filings and 8 magnetic compasses, you can investigate the associated field and flux patterns.

Description

Comprising iron U-shaped core of circular section, with armature and carrying hook. Wounded with insulated copper wire and provided with connectors for use on 4-6 volts D.C.

This demonstrates the action of electric current on a magnet. A cobalt steel needle with agate bearing supported by pivot is mounted on a plastic base and surrounded by rectangular frame fitted with terminals.
