Experiment: Current Balance

Product Overview

Objective: Measurement of the force exerted on a current carrying conductor located inside a magnetic field The electric balance is based on Andr? Marie Amp?res? experiments on electric current. It measures the electro dynamic force sometimes referred to as the Lorentz force on a current carrying conductor situated in a magnetic field using a balance. In this experiment the current conductor is suspended from a rigid suspension system and exerts the equal and opposite force on the permanent magnets as the electro dynamic force generated by the magnetic field. The result is the apparent change in weight of the permanent magnets.
