Supertek® Biot-Savart's Law Experiment

Measure the magnetic fields produced by straight and coiled conductors.

• Multiple coil variants allow students to compare current, number of turns, radius
• 2-axis Teslameter allows students to measure both axial and tangential magnetic fields

Electric currents generate magnetic fields. Biot–Savart law is an equation describing the magnetic field generated by a constant electric current. It relates the magnetic field to the magnitude, direction, length, and proximity of the electric current. In this experiment, we study the magnetic field characteristics in the straight conductors and different types of circular coils.

Delivery information: Kit includes optical bench set 0.4 m, solenoid with variable turns, solenoid with variable lengths, solenoid with different winding density (set), straight conductor holder, Teslameter with axial and tangential hall probe, power supply.
