Magnetic Field Apparatus

Magnetic Field Apparatus A set of 3 perspex-mounted wire arrangements designed to demonstrate the electromagnetic fields generated by a current passing through a conductor. 1. Single conductor type: A rectangular loop of wire 1.5mm diameter capable of carrying a maximum 8A current.  Either sprinkled iron filings or a plotting compass is placed around the vertical wire to show the magnetic field emitted around a current carrying wire. 2. Single and 5 turns flat coil: The single turn will take 8A and the 5 turn is restricted to 5A. Both coils have a 62mm diameter of the 1.5mm copper wire.  3. Open Helix Coil: Consists of 14 turns of 1.5mm diameter copper wire open wound on a clear base.  Coil 51mm x 92mm (diameter x length).
