Orsted’s Apparatus

Description

Non-magnetic metal pillar with carbon steel point, on stable base, overall height 110 mm

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

Consist of a closed transparent box with a transparent tube through the center. The box contains iron filings and silicon oil. When one or more cylindrical magnets are inserted into the central tube, the filings are attracted and line up along the field lines in all dimensions With Cylindrical Magnet.

Description

For ordinary magnets, iron bars, strips etc. Consists of a 250 mm long solenoid wound with insulated copper wire and mounted on a base, with switch and 4mm terminals. Operating voltage is 12 V A.C. or D.C. At 6A max.
