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.
Applied Filters
Conductivity Indicator Tester
Nine level conductivity meter shows the relative conductivity/resistance of liquids and solids. As the conductivity of the tested material increases, the number of glowing red LEDs will increase to a maximum of 8, which indicates a very good conductor. There will be zero glowing red LEDs if the material has a very low electrical conductivity (is a good insulator).

Quantitative Electroscope
Electrostatic charges are indicated by the deflection of a black plastic straw pivoted on a pin. The polished zinc plate on top is used to demonstrate photoelectric effect and various other electrostatic demonstrations. The metal case measures 14 cm in diameter. The scale is graduated in 10° increments in two quadrants.

Salt Bridge
Comprises an inverted “U” tube with its ends closed by sintered discs. For use in experiments involving the measurement of cell EMF under conditions of forward, zero and reverse current flow. The bridge comprises an inverted “U” tube with its ends closed by sintered discs. This apparatus provides a more effective method of making reversible cells then the wet filter paper or agar gel methods. Dia. of arms 13mm, overall width 80mm, overall height 100mm.
