This apparatus is designed to demonstrate that the force experienced by a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field depends on the strength of the magnetic field and the magnitude of current flowing through the conductor.
The apparatus consists of metal wire arms formed into rectangular L-shaped loops, with both ends supported on insulated beam balance arms.
The beam is mounted on a pair of metal pillars through conical bearings that function as the fulcrum.
The balance beam is fitted with two screwed masses: one horizontal mass for adjusting the equilibrium position of the suspension arms and one vertical mass for adjusting sensitivity.
One arm is provided with a slider moving along a scale graduated from 0–75 mm for adjusting the equilibrium while current is flowing.
The L-shaped ends of the arms oscillate vertically within the magnetic field produced by permanent magnets, which can be adjusted to vary the length of the arms positioned within the magnetic field.
Each pillar is fitted with a hole accommodating 4 mm plugs for convenient electrical connections.
The complete assembly is securely mounted on a stable base.
Manufactured by Atico Export to meet the practical demands of modern laboratory environments.
