- Purpose: Demonstrate the effect of eddy currents on motion of metal pendulum in strong B-field.
- Pendulum accessories include two interchangeable copper plates, one of which is serrated. Serrated copper plate experiences little resistance to motion through magnetic field.
- Located in L03
- Current flows through electrolytic solution in magnetic
field, causing solution to spin.
- Located in L01, section B3.
- A magnetic compass mounted in a vertical plane. Displays
the angle of inclination of the earth’s magnetic field.
- Located in L01, section A2; in plastic tub.
- Place tiny compasses around current carrying wire to see
circular magnetic field.
- Located in L01, section B2. Power supply in section A1; cables
on wall.
