- Insulated wiring for safe use on a low voltage DC supply.
- Detailed user guide included.
Technical Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Conductor | Insulated straight conductor on a base |
| Power requirement | Low voltage DC supply |
| Field detection | Magnetic compass or probe |
| Safety | Insulated wiring, stable mounting |
| Documentation | User guide for setup and experiments |
How It Is Used
Connect the conductor to a regulated low voltage DC supply and switch on. Moving a compass or probe around the wire shows the direction of the field and traces out circular field lines, and readings taken at different distances show how the field varies. Switch the supply off after the experiment.
