Dual Range Force Sensor

Use the Dual-Range Force Sensor in a wide variety of experiments including the study of friction, simple harmonic motion, impact in collisions, or centripetal force. The Dual-Range Force Sensor has two ranges: ±10N or ±50N. It can be easily mounted on a Vernier Dynamics Cart for use with the Vernier Dynamics System. Mount one on the New Centripetal Force Apparatus, on a ring stand or even as a replacement for a hand-held spring scale. Use it to study friction, simple harmonic motion, impact in collisions, or centripetal force.

Light Sensor

The Light Sensor approximates the human eye in spectral response. Use it for inverse square law experiments, studying polarizers, reflectivity, or solar energy. Supports three different illumination ranges selected by a switch.

Magnetic Field Sensor

This sensor uses a Hall effect transducer, and measures a vector component of the magnetic field near the sensor tip. It has two ranges, allowing for measurement of relatively strong magnetic fields around permanent magnets and electromagnets, as well as measurement of weak fields such as the Earth's magnetic field. The articulated sensor tip allows you to measure both transverse and longitudinal magnetic fields.

Microphone Sensor

Collect data with the Microphone to display and study the waveforms of sounds from voices and musical instruments. It also works well for speed of sound experiments.

Motion Detector

The Motion Detector uses ultrasound to measure distance. Ultrasonic pulses are emitted by the Motion Detector, reflected from a target and then detected by the device. The time it takes for the reflected pulses to return is used to calculate position, velocity and acceleration. This allows you to study the motion of objects such as a person walking, a ball in free fall or a cart on a ramp. Please note: This item requires an interface such as a LabQuest or LabQuest Mini to operate. If you need a motion detector that can plug straight into a USB port, then see our Go!Motion motion detector.

Photogate (Light Gate)

Photogates allow for extremely accurate timing of events within physics experiments, for studying free fall, air track collisions, pendulum periods, the speed of a rolling object, among other things. The Vernier Photogate includes an accessory rod for mounting to a ring stand.
