About This Product
Barlow's wheel is a simple model of an electric motor. A current passes from the hub to the rim of a metal wheel through the field of a magnet, so the wheel feels a force and turns. Teachers use it to show the motor effect and to apply Fleming's left-hand rule, and students see that reversing the current or the magnet reverses the direction of rotation. Alongside supply within India, the Barlow Wheel Apparatus is offered for export to Samoa, Costa Rica, Egypt, Belarus, Syria and Georgia.
