1. Description
The Pair of Helmholtz coils is used for generating a
homogeneous magnetic field. In conjunction with
the rotating frame with flat coil (U8481510), the
Helmholtz coils are also used in experiments for
investigating induction and magnetic levitation. and
for the determination of the specific charge of the
electron e/m in conjunction with the electron-beam
tube (U8481420). The coils can be switched in paral-
lel or in series. A spring clip on the top crossbar is
used to mount the Hall sensor during measurements
of the magnetic field.
