Basic Current Balance, SF-8607

How It Works

One to six magnets are mounted on an iron yoke, which is placed on a gram balance. A conductor is suspended between the magnets. The weight of the magnets and yoke is measured, then a current (0-5 A) is passed through the conductor. The change in the reading of the balance (0-4 grams) measures the force between the conductor and the magnetic field.

Six conductors of different lengths are provided and can be easily changed while maintaining a repeatable position with respect to the magnetic field. The magnetic field is proportional to the number of magnets used.

What’s Included

  • 1x Iron Yoke (holds magnets)
  • 6x Removable Magnets
  • 6x Conductors (1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 cm in length)
  • 1x Mount (to hold position conductors)
