5K10.15 Single Turn Coil Deflects Galvanometer

PURPOSE: To demonstrate induced currents in a wire

DESCRIPTION: A single turn of wire will produce a deflection of the lecture-table galvanometer if the turn of wire is whipped in and out of the poles of a so-called magnetron magnets, with a field of about 0.3 tesla.

SETUP TIME: Minimal

COMPONENT LIST:

  1. Length of wire Wire Area
  2. Magnetron magnet Magnet Area, EM Shelves
  3. Lecture-table Galvanometer EM Shelves

SUGGESTIONS: See Vincent's 2122 Demonstration Booklet for further instructions.
