A voltage source is connected to two metal rails and the circuit is completed with a metal rod perpendicular to the two rails. Two large magnets at one end of the track then generate a magnetic field causing the rod to role down the track. Classes Used: Phys 102, 108
Right Hand Rule, Lorentz Force Law
The rod can be found on the same cart as the power supply. Updated on:04/02/2015
To demonstrate Lorentz Force Law
