Product Description
Experiment to show that the ball passes through to the ring when cold but will not pass through after being heated. Comprising a brass ball 25 mm dia, a brass ring mounted on a rod with a handle, a chain is provided to hold the ball with the ring. 171.1 Mounted on a tripod baseReliable Construction for Academic LabsBuilt with a stable metal base and high-quality brass components, the Ball and Ring Apparatus A is specifically designed for school and college laboratory settings. Its robust structure and smooth wood handle assure consistent and safe demonstrations, even with regular classroom use. The combination of brass and stainless steel offers enhanced durability, making it a long-lasting educational investment.
Simple and Safe Thermal Expansion DemonstrationPre-assembled for immediate use, this apparatus is user-friendly and ideal for physics demonstrations. Compatible with standard laboratory heat sources, the insulated wooden handle ensures students and teachers can operate it safely. Its manual operation design further eliminates the need for external power, emphasizing hands-on scientific investigation.
FAQ's of Ball And Ring Apparatus A:
Q: How do you use the Ball and Ring Apparatus A in a classroom setting?
A: To demonstrate thermal expansion, heat the brass ball with a Bunsen burner or spirit lamp using the insulated wooden handle. Show that the unheated ball passes through the ring, then heat the ball until it expands and observe how it no longer fits through the ring. This visually illustrates the concept effectively for students.
Q: What materials is the Ball and Ring Apparatus A constructed from?
A: This apparatus is crafted from polished brass for the ball and ring, a durable metal stand, an insulated wooden handle for safe handling, and stainless steel for added strength. These premium materials ensure the equipment is both reliable and long-lasting for laboratory use.
Q: When should this apparatus be used in the academic curriculum?
A: The Ball and Ring Apparatus A is most suitable for physics lessons focusing on thermal expansion. It can be incorporated during demonstrations or practical sessions related to properties of matter or thermal processes in both secondary schools and undergraduate college courses.
Q: Where can the Ball and Ring Apparatus A be safely operated?
A: This apparatus is designed for laboratory environments equipped with standard heat sources like Bunsen burners or spirit lamps. Its stable, heavy base and insulated handle make it safe for bench-top use in classrooms and laboratories.
Q: What is the process for setting up the experiment with this apparatus?
A: The apparatus arrives ready to use, with no assembly required. Simply place it on the laboratory bench, ensure the ball and ring are properly aligned, and use the wooden handle for safe operation. Introduce a heat source to the brass ball to observe expansion effects.
Q: What are the key benefits of using the Ball and Ring Apparatus A?
A: This apparatus offers a clear, hands-on demonstration of thermal expansion, engages students with visual learning, and enhances safety with its insulated handle and stable metal base. Its portability and ease of use make it a convenient teaching tool for educators.
