Our set consists of a laminated C-core with coils.
The coils are designed to be used with 'Westminster Kit' type laminated 'C' cores and clips.
The coils are made from a strong plastic material, i.e. Tufnol with 4 mm socket connections.
Each coil is center-tapped giving three turns’ value per coil.
This system of the C-core and coils allows students to investigate for themselves the basics of Faraday's Laws of Electromagnetic Induction.
Students will also understand how the use of a magnetic core can increase the strength of a magnetic field in an electromagnetic coil, by a factor of several hundred times than what it would be without the core.
Also students can appreciate the creation of stronger magnetic fields by increasing the number of turns of wire that are wrapped around the C-core.
The set of C-core and coils is available in different variations of the coils:
- C-core for coils (Can be purchased separately)
- C-core & Coils, Coil 50 + 100
- C-core & Coils, Coil 200 + 250
- C-core & Coils, Coil 300 + 350
- C-core & Coils, Coil 400 + 500
- C-core & Coils, Coil 550 + 600
Complete set is also available.
