Electricity/Magnetism Learning Activities
Avantor offers a complete catalogue of instruments and tools useful for demonstrating key, basic concepts of physics that are applicable to everyday life both in and out of the laboratory. Demonstrate core ideas such as acceleration down a plane, friction, potential and kinetic energy, electrical conductivity, magnetic fields, wavelengths and velocity of sound, and more. Durable educational materials are designed for heavy use with consistent levels of handling, and all models are easy to use.
Set of 15 Safety Experiment Leads
For electrical circuits with low voltages and high currents; copper wire encased in highly flexible PVC; equipped at either end with a laminated safety plug and a fully-insulated axial jack for connecting additional patch cords.

High Voltage Power Supply 5000 V
Universally applicable, floating, high-voltage power supply with built-in, high voltage resistant transformer to supply the heater voltage for electron tubes. Continuously adjustable high voltage, safe to touch, with passive current limitation and analog voltage display. Unit poles can be connected to protected earth, but it is not center tapped.

Pair of Helmholtz coils
Helmholtz coils are used to produce a homogeneous magnetic field. Experiments on induction and electron deflection can be performed with the Rotary Frame with Flat Coil and the Fine Beam Tube. The coils can be used in parallel or in series and feature a spring clip on the cross bar to mount a Hall Sensor for measurements of the magnetic field. The maximum field strength generated by the coils (~ 4 mT) is approximately 750 times weaker than that produced by an MRI machine (~ 3T), which are known to be safe for use by people with medical implants such as pacemakers.

KidWind® Nacelle
Build a complete turbine by making your own tower and base with PVC pipe (from a hardware store) or use the KidWind Tower and Base Set. You will also need a generator and a way to affix the turbine blades. We recommend using the KidWind Wind Turbine Generator with Wires and a KidWind Hub.

KidWind simpleGEN AC Generator
The simpleGEN is an easy-to-build AC generator that allows students to explore the basics of electrical generator design. With the simpleGEN, you can demonstrate Faraday’s law, light LEDs, and perform experiments that explore how coils, magnets, and rotation affect electrical generation. With some quick modifications, you will be able to convert your generator to a simple motor and explore additional variables. You can also take your experiments to the next level by converting your simpleGEN into a wind turbine nacelle.
