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.
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.
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.
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.
