E42: 3-D Magnetic Field Demonstrator

 

Purpose: To show the magnetic field lines around a magnet.

Description:

 

Option 1: Place a cylindrical bar magnet in the center of the 3-D Magnetic Field Demonstrator. The iron filing will align with the magnetic field.

Option 2: A current carrying wire can also be passed thorugh the hole in the center of the 3-D Magnetic Field Demonstrator to show the magnetic field around the wire.

Place the 3-D Magnetic Field Demonstrator on the Cannon Document camera for better class viewing.
