OERSTEDS APPARATUS
Product Code : EL-PLE-15189Eduscope India is a leading OERSTEDS APPARATUS Quick Answer:Oersted's Apparatus is designed for demonstrating the effect of a current-carrying conductor and its associated magnetic field on a magnetic needle, recreating the classic experiment through which the link between electric current and magnetism was first established, a foundational piece ofphysics lab equipment Indiaclassrooms use within a widerlaboratory equipment school Indiaelectromagnetism range.
Construction and Specifications
It gives students a clear, hands-on way to observe this foundational principle of electromagnetism. The apparatus comprises a magnetic needle positioned at the centre, surrounded by a rectangular strip made of copper. Connecting sockets are fitted on the strip so that current can be passed through the conductor, allowing its magnetic effect on the needle to be observed directly.
