“Experiment: Lorentz Force, 230 V“

Product description

“3B Scientific, UE3030300-230, Experiment for Electricity: Lorentz Force, 230 V, 50/60 HzUE3030300-230 Includes Only:Electromagnetic Experiment SetPermanent Magnet with Adjustable Pole SpacingPair of Safety Experiment Leads, 75 cm, blue, redDC Power Supply 20 V, 5 A (230 V, 50/60 Hz)Features:Objective: Measure the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic fieldThe experiment involves measuring the Lorentz force on a current-carrying copper rod suspended in a horizontal position from a pair of vertical wires (like a swing) and subjected to a magnetic field. When the current is switched on the "swing" is deflected from the vertical position and the Lorentz force can be calculated from the angle of deflection. The current through the rod, the magnetic field strength and the effective length of the conductor in the magnetic field are varied and the effects are measured.“
