Open Wound Solenoid
Model Number: MTE-021
The Open Wound Solenoid is a practical physics laboratory apparatus used for studying magnetic fields produced by a current-carrying coil. It features a widely spaced heavy gauge copper wire coil capable of carrying current up to 10 A. The coil is mounted on a base with 4 mm socket terminals for convenient electrical connections. A support is positioned across the centre of the coil to allow students to demonstrate and observe the magnetic field using iron filings or a small compass. With a coil dimension of approximately 150 × 50 mm, the unit is suitable for electromagnetism demonstrations, physics experiments and laboratory teaching. Micro Technologies supplies practical equipment for educational and scientific laboratory applications.
Product Specification
The Open Wound Solenoid is designed for practical investigation of magnetic fields generated by an electric current flowing through a coil. Its open construction provides clear access to the coil and allows students to observe magnetic field patterns during laboratory demonstrations.
The apparatus consists of a widely spaced heavy gauge copper wire coil capable of carrying current up to 10 A. The coil is mounted on a sturdy base and fitted with 4 mm socket terminals, providing convenient connections to an appropriate electrical supply or experimental circuit.
A support is positioned across the centre of the coil, providing a suitable area for demonstrating the magnetic field. Students can use iron filings to visualize the field pattern or a small compass to investigate the direction of the magnetic field produced by the energized coil.
The open-wound construction makes the apparatus particularly useful for teaching electromagnetism because the magnetic field around the coil can be directly investigated. It can support experiments involving current, magnetic field formation and the behaviour of magnetic fields around current-carrying conductors.
The coil has an approximate dimension of 150 × 50 mm, providing a compact setup for laboratory demonstrations. Its heavy gauge copper construction is suitable for practical experiments requiring higher current capacity.
The Open Wound Solenoid is suitable for physics laboratories, electrical engineering departments, colleges, universities and technical training institutes. It can be used for classroom demonstrations as well as hands-on student experiments.
Micro Technologies supplies educational and laboratory equipment for practical physics and electrical training. This apparatus provides a straightforward solution for demonstrating magnetic field principles and current-carrying coil behaviour.
