Product Specification
The U-Shaped Electromagnet from Micro Technologies is designed for practical physics laboratory investigations involving the relationship between electricity and magnetism. The apparatus provides a convenient arrangement for demonstrating the magnetic effect produced when electric current passes through suitable coils associated with a magnetic core.
The MT-1335 incorporates a U-shaped core arrangement with wound electromagnetic coils. When connected to an appropriate electrical supply according to the experimental setup, current flowing through the coils produces a magnetic field and magnetizes the associated core.
The U-shaped configuration positions the magnetic pole regions relatively close together. This provides a concentrated working region where magnetic attraction and other electromagnetic effects can be conveniently demonstrated.
The apparatus is particularly useful for explaining how an electromagnet differs from a permanent magnet. While a permanent magnet maintains its magnetic field without an electrical supply, the magnetic action of an electromagnet is produced primarily through electric current flowing through its coil system.
The MT-1335 can support experiments investigating the relationship between electric current and magnetic field strength. Depending on the complete laboratory setup, changes in the electrical conditions can be related to corresponding changes in electromagnetic behaviour.
A suitable armature or ferromagnetic specimen can be positioned near the pole region to demonstrate electromagnetic attraction. This provides a clear visual demonstration of the ability of an energized electromagnet to attract magnetic materials.
The apparatus can also be used to explain the formation of north and south magnetic poles in an electromagnet. Reversing the direction of current through an appropriate coil arrangement reverses the direction of the magnetic field and consequently interchanges the magnetic polarity.
The magnetic core helps provide a low-reluctance path for magnetic flux and enhances the magnetic effect produced by the current-carrying coils. This makes the apparatus useful for introducing the practical role of magnetic cores in electromagnetic systems.
Its exposed laboratory construction allows the coil, core and magnetic working region to remain visible during demonstrations. This helps users relate the physical components of the apparatus to the electromagnetic principles being investigated.
The U-Shaped Electromagnet can complement permanent magnets, magnetic compasses, iron filings, magnetic needles and other magnetism apparatus for broader investigations of magnetic fields, magnetic poles and electromagnetism.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the U-Shaped Electromagnet is suitable for physics laboratories, science laboratories, electromagnetism laboratories, research and demonstration facilities and other applications involving fundamental electromagnetic investigations.

FAQs
What is a U-Shaped Electromagnet used for?
A U-Shaped Electromagnet is used for experiments involving electromagnetism, electromagnetic attraction, magnetic fields, magnetic poles and the magnetic effect of electric current.
What is the Micro Technologies model number?
The Micro Technologies model number is MT-1335.
How is magnetism produced in this apparatus?
Magnetic action is produced when electric current flows through the electromagnetic coils, creating a magnetic field that magnetizes the associated core.
Why is the electromagnet U-shaped?
The U-shaped configuration brings the two magnetic pole regions relatively close together, providing a convenient working area for magnetic attraction and field demonstrations.
Can electromagnetic attraction be demonstrated?
Yes. A suitable ferromagnetic object or armature can be positioned near the pole region to demonstrate attraction when the electromagnet is energized.
Can the polarity of an electromagnet be changed?
Yes. In an appropriate setup, reversing the direction of current through the coil reverses the magnetic field direction and pole orientation.
What is the function of the magnetic core?
The magnetic core helps concentrate and guide the magnetic flux generated by the current-carrying coils, increasing the effectiveness of the electromagnet.
Is this different from a permanent magnet?
Yes. An electromagnet develops its principal magnetic action when current flows through its coils, whereas a permanent magnet maintains magnetism without continuous electrical excitation.
Does the apparatus require an electrical supply?
Yes. A suitable electrical supply is required to energize the coils for electromagnetic experiments. The supply should be selected according to the specified apparatus requirements.
Where can the U-Shaped Electromagnet be used?
It is suitable for physics laboratories, science laboratories, electromagnetism laboratories and research or demonstration facilities.
