Current Balance

Description

Attraction and repulsion of current carrying solenoids. Classes Used: Phys 102, 108

Purpose

Apparatus

- Current balance - 12 V DC power supply

Setup

1. The power supply provides current to the two coils, this current being adjustable in value using the series control rheostat. 2. The connections can be made so that the coils either attract or repel and a compensating movement of the sliding weight can be made to restore balance of the pivoted arm.
