Electromagnetic Kit

An intermediate lab system to investigate the magnetic field produced by permanent magnets and electric currents. The Magnetics System 2 is designed to demonstrate the basic principles electromagnetic flux lines (of current carrying conductors), deflection of a magnetic needle, the magnetic field produced by a permanent magnet and paramagnetic and ferromagnetic substances, etc. The Magnetics System 2 is also suitable for use with an overhead projector.

Equipment needed:

• Power Supply 30 A

Equipment suggested:

• Overhead Projector
• Magnetic Field Sensor (VR105688)

Use this kit to investigate the following principles:

• Ampère’s Law
• Biot-Savart Law
• Investigation of Magnetic circuits
• Investigation of paramagnetic and ferromagnetic substances
• Magnetic field produced by a current
• Magnetic field produced by permanent magnets
• North-south poles of a magnet
