- Fluctuating B field causes ring to either 1) jump off of apparatus, or 2) levitate.
- For new apparatus (right in top picture): plug into wall and push the switch on the right down to let current flow. For old apparatus (left in top picture): plug Apparatus into variac; turn variac knob to set current amount; flip variac switch to “on” position to produce instantaneous B field.
- For added excitement, cool rings with LN2 to increase conductivity.
Notes about use
- For old apparatus: apparatus is pretty old. Iron rods not securely connected to wooden base. Hold onto base and rods, when lifting or transporting.
- Do not touch apparatus when current is flowing (variac on or switch pressed).
- Jumping ring apparatus located in L01, section B2. Variac
located in L01, section A1.
