Philip Harris Westminster Electromagnetics Kit
Philip Harris Westminster Electromagnetics Kit
Product code: B8H26357
Product Description
A comprehensive kit sufficient for 8 students, containing all of the essential apparatus for a variety of investigations into the important phenomena of electromagnetism.
The kit includes:
- Special magnets,
- C-cores,
- Yokes and armatures for constructing the model motor,
- Insulated copper wire,
- Compasses,
- Iron filings,
- MES and neon lamps
- Detailed Teacher's Notes describing the procedures and theoretical background.
The experiments catered for include:
- General investigation of magnets including attraction, repulsion, and the magnetic meridian
- Investigation of the magnetic field due to magnets with highly visual activities
- Investigation of the magnetic field due to electric current, including simple galvanometers, electromagnets and vibrators
- Forces on currents in magnetic fields including: moving coil ammeter; simple electric motor construction and use; electromagnetic induction- the dynamo
- Alternating current: transformers and power line
- Eddy current and damping
- Force between currents
- a.c. Resonance; back e.m.f. and inductance
Spare parts available:
- Mild Steel Yokes/Cradles - B8H26370
- Shafts - B8H26412
- Armatures - B8H26369
- White Cotton Reels - B8R01314
- Tinned Copper Wire - B8A90929
- Key Stage 3 Physics - Electricity and Electromagnetism: The magnetic effect of a current, electromagnets, DC motors (principles only).
- Key Stage 4 Physics – Forces: Forces and fields: electrostatic, magnetic, gravity.
- Key Stage 4 Physics - Magnetism and Electromagnetism: Magnetism and electromagnetism. Exploring the magnetic fields of permanent and induced magnets, and the Earth’s magnetic field, using a compass. Magnetic effects of currents.
