Description

Demonstrates the Lorentz force acting on a current-carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field. Consists transparent acrylic base with printed scale and component support. The horizontal metal rod that runs across the apparatus from right to left, mounted on a pivot mechanism at one end, with a fine adjustable counterweight screw made of brass at the other end to balance the torque. The arm holds the current-carrying conductor the (U-shaped wire) is suspended below it, and the arm rotates slightly and responds to force generated by the magnetic field. Support columns chrome plated for adjustable mounting. The apparatus can be used as current balance for current upto 3A.
