Magnetic field Demo, long solenoid

Description

Revolving in pivots, with a graduated quadrant, rotatable on a base marked every 45°.

Description

For demonstrating that some metals are magnetic whilst others are not and for general ‘Metal Identification’ exercises. Comprises sixteen discs, 25 mm. diameter 2 each of Mild Steel, Stainless Steel, Brass, Zinc, Nickel, Silver, Bronze, Aluminium and copper. One of each is stamped with the name of metal. the other is unmarked.

Description

A former with terminals and engraved circle marked 0 – 180° – 0 figured every 45°, wound with 30 turns of insulated copper wire, complete with a magnetic needle 75 mm long and a pivot for the needle.

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.
