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.
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.
Laplace Apparatus works without mercury.
The study of Lorentz’s force is a crucial topic of introductory physics courses and interaction between electric currents and magnetic fields is a major issue of electromagnetism.
Power supply is required but not included.
