Electromagnetic Field Demonstrator
Model Number: MTME-15
The Electromagnetic Field Demonstrator is a comprehensive apparatus designed to investigate magnetic field patterns produced by different current-carrying conductors. Micro Technologies supplies the unit with three conductor configurations—a pair of straight conductors, a circular loop, and a solenoid—mounted on a plastic base. Each configuration is provided with 4 mm electrical sockets for connection to a suitable low-voltage DC power source with output current not exceeding 5 A. Supplied with iron filings and 8 magnetic compasses, the apparatus enables clear investigation of magnetic-field direction and flux patterns around different conductor arrangements.
Product Specification
The Electromagnetic Field Demonstrator is designed for comparative investigation of magnetic fields associated with different shapes of current-carrying conductors. By incorporating multiple conductor configurations into a single apparatus, it provides a convenient platform for studying fundamental electromagnetic-field patterns.
The apparatus comprises three different conductor arrangements: a pair of straight conductors, a circular loop, and a solenoid. Each configuration produces a characteristic magnetic-field distribution when connected to an appropriate electrical supply.
Micro Technologies mounts the conductor assemblies securely on a plastic base, providing a stable arrangement for observation and experimentation. Each configuration incorporates 4 mm electrical sockets to simplify connection to a compatible laboratory power source.
The apparatus is designed for operation from a suitable low-voltage DC power supply, with the applied current maintained at not more than 5 A. This allows sufficient current to be passed through the selected conductor while remaining within the specified operating limit.
The straight-conductor arrangement can be used to investigate the magnetic field generated around a current-carrying wire. The circular loop enables observation of how the field changes when the conductor forms a closed circular path, while the solenoid demonstrates the combined magnetic effect produced by multiple turns.
The apparatus is supplied with iron filings and eight magnetic compasses. Iron filings provide a visual indication of magnetic flux patterns, while the magnetic compasses can be positioned at different locations to investigate field direction.
By comparing observations from the straight conductors, circular loop, and solenoid, users can examine how conductor geometry influences the resulting magnetic-field pattern. The direction of current can also be reversed to investigate the corresponding reversal of magnetic-field direction.
The combination of three conductor arrangements, field-visualization accessories, electrical connection sockets, and a stable base makes the Electromagnetic Field Demonstrator a versatile apparatus for magnetism and electromagnetism laboratory investigations.
