U Shaped Magnet

Description

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.

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.

Description

Diameter 50 mm with cover and locking arrangement. Dial marked with points of compass and degrees.

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.
