MAG-35 MAGNETIC FIELD DEMONSTRATION

It is used for the study and demonstration of magnetic fields associated with current carrying conductors of different shapes.

The conductors are mounted on clear transparent acrylic bases, thus permitting their use on OHP’s for classroom demonstrations.

Each conductor has a pair of 4mm socket terminals for the electrical supply.

The magnetic effects in each can be visualized through the use of iron fillings or plotting compasses.

It comprises of the following conductors:

1. LONG SOLENOID- A solenoid coil about 52 x 125mm (diameter x length) of 16 SWG enameled copper wire. Each turn is sufficiently apart and well insulated from the adjacent ones.
2. VERTICAL WIRE- A copper wire 16 SWG, mounted in a U-shape, vertically on the base. Maximum current is 8A.
3. VERTICAL COILS- A set of 1 turn and 5 turn coils mounted side by side on a base, each with a separate pair of socket terminals for electrical connections. Maximum current for 1 turn coil is 8A and for 5 turn coil is 5A. By making the current flow through both of them, the cumulative effect of the magnetic field of each can also be investigated.
4. SIMPLE CIRCULAR COIL- It consists of a single turn circular coil of copper wire of 16 SWG, mounted vertically on a base. Coil diameter is about 55mm.Maximum current is 8A.
5. SET OF 4 COILS- This set includes one long solenoid, a vertical wire, a pair of vertical coils, and a simple circular coil.
