Introduction
The PASCO EM-6712 400-Turn Detector Coil is useful
in demonstrations of electromagnetic induction. It can be
used in combination with the PASCO EM-6711 Field
Coil to verify Faraday’s Law, as well as to measure the
relationship between the magnitude of the induced elec-
tromotive force and the angle of the magnetic field of a
field coil and a pickup coil.

Equipment
The 400-Turn Detector Coil is a wire coil on one end of
a wand that has two terminals at the other end. The ter-
minals accomodate banana plug contacts, permitting easy
connection of an electric circuit. A standard double plug
with a 10 k
Ω
resistor is included.
