Force On A Conductor Balance Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-PLE-10891
Quick Answer: The Force on a Conductor Balance demonstrates that a conductor carrying current in a magnetic field feels a force of attraction or repulsion, depending on the direction of the current. It has a 160 × 140 mm plastic base, two contact pillars, a balance beam on two bearings, a scale marked 0 to 75 × 1 mm and a 1 g rider.

About This Product
A current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field feels a force at right angles to the field and to the current. In this balance the conductor forms part of a beam that tips when the force acts on it, and the rider on the scale can be used to bring the beam back to balance. Students use it to see how the force changes with the current and to confirm that reversing the current reverses the force.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Force on a Conductor Balance demonstrate?
It demonstrates that a conductor carrying current in a magnetic field is subjected to a force of attraction or repulsion, depending on the direction of the current.
Q2. What do the two screwed masses do?
One moves vertically to adjust the sensitivity and the other moves horizontally to adjust the equilibrium position when no current is flowing.
Q3. What is the size of the base and the scale?
The plastic base is 160 × 140 mm. The scale is marked 0 to 75 × 1 mm and the rider weighs 1 g.
