1. Safety instructions
Currents of approx. 12 A – 15 A are required to de-
monstrate magnetic field distribution of current
carrying conductors.
• It is recommended that the power source be
switched off immediately once the lines of the-
magnetic force field become visible. (Danger
that the copper leads are damaged due to the
high current.)
• Do not touch the current carrying conductors
with your fingers.
2. Description
The set of apparatus for displaying magnetic fields is
used to illustrate magnetic field distribution of
permanent magnets and current-carrying conduc-
tors. Experiment topics include among others: mag-
netic flux lines of bar and horseshoe magnets, mag-
netic screening, magnetic induction, lines of force of
electromagnetic fields of straight conductors, ring-
shaped conductors, cylindrical coils and electro-
magnets.
The equipment kit includes 5 Plexiglas boxes as well
as 7 additional accessories (see point 2.1). The Plexi-
glas boxes used to scatter iron filings on is designed
with a recess so that after use the iron filings can
easily be refilled into the storage bottle. All of the
components are arranged in a componentshaped
premoulded storage tray. The equipment kit is also
well suited for use on a daylight projector.
