Introduction
The PASCO EM-6711 200-Turn Field Coil is useful in
demonstrations of electromagnetic induction. It can be
used to verify Faraday’s Law, and it can be used to
measure the dependence of the size of the induced
electromotive force on the angle of the magnetic field of
the field coil and the pickup coil.

Equipment
The 200-Turn Field Coil is a wire coil on a bobbin that
has a base with three terminals that accomodate banana
plug contacts. These permit easy connection of either an
unmodified electric circuit (for measuring voltage) or a
circuit across a 1200
Ω
resistor (for measuring current).
