Magnetic Fields & Forces

-A permanent magnet sits between parallel metal rails which are connected to a galvanometer.

-Place the loose metal bar inside the magnet across the rails.

-Close the switch, allowing current to flow through the bar.

-The bar will travel along the rails.

-Use the special projectual which contains fillings emersed in a liquid.

 

- Eddy Currents (5K20.25) link to picture 5k20_25.htm

-The magnet will take about 3 seconds to fall through the tube, while the "dummy" magnet will fall through very quickly.

-Plug in the cathode ray tube.

-Deflect the beam of the CRT by holding a permanent magnet near the edge of the tube.

-If the beam disappears you are holding the magnet too close.

-OR deflect the beam by attaching a battery to the binding posts and adjusting the variable control knob.

-OR Connect the battery directl to the deflection plate terminals.
