Product Description
Apparatus To Show On Conductor In A Magnetic FieldComprising a strong U-shaped magnet and a pair of brass rails with 4 mm socket terminals. A brass axle with plastic discs is free to roll along the rails and completes the electrical contact between them. When the axle is placed on the rails between the poles of the magnets, and power supply unit is connected, the axle is repelled and rolls along the rails away from the center of magnetic field. Dimensions 175x60x58 mm.
Principle of Magnetic Force DemonstrationThis apparatus visually demonstrates the fundamental physics concept of how a current-carrying conductor experiences a force in a magnetic field. It utilizes a sturdy copper rod and a strong U-shaped magnet mounted on a stable, non-slip plastic base. When electric current passes through the conductor, students can observe the directional force exerted, supporting lessons in electromagnetism and motor principles.
Durable Build for Frequent UseDesigned for daily use in educational settings, this apparatus features high-quality materials including a stainless steel frame, copper rod, and durable plastic base. Its robust construction ensures longevity even with repeated hands-on demonstrations, while the stable support arms and base provide enhanced safety and operational ease during experiments.
Simple Operation & MaintenanceOperation is purely manual-no electric power required-making setup and handling straightforward for both instructors and students. To maintain its performance, ensure the apparatus is stored in a dry environment, and clean components with a dry cloth. The device meets educational safety standards and offers effortless handling thanks to its compact and lightweight (10-15 kg) design.
FAQ's of Apparatus To Show On Conductor In A Magnetic Field:
Q: How do I operate the apparatus to demonstrate magnetic force on a conductor?
A: To use the apparatus, connect optional wires to the copper conductor rod, ensuring it is properly positioned between the arms of the U-shaped magnet. When current is allowed to flow through the rod, manually move the rod or magnet as instructed, and observe the directional force exerted on the rod due to the magnetic field. No power supply is required; operation is manual.
Q: What educational levels is this apparatus suitable for?
A: This apparatus is suitable for physics demonstrations in schools, colleges, and universities. It is designed for classroom and laboratory use as a visual aid in teaching key principles of electromagnetism and current-carrying conductors within magnetic fields.
