Principle

This experiment is designed to show the magnetic property of a coil and so bring an understanding of the role it plays in an electric motor or generator.

Benefits


Simple design of all components, so that the student can easily recognise their function

The possibility to set up function models gradually, so that functional relations between components can be understood

No tools required for assembly


Tasks

Compare the magnetic field of a permanent magnet with that of a current-carrying coil.
