Oersted's law demonstrates that a steady electric current produces a magnetic field around the conductor.
The apparatus consists of a cobalt steel magnetic needle supported on an agate bearing.
The magnetic needle is pivoted at the centre of a rectangular frame made from a non-magnetic heavy-gauge metallic strip.
The frame is fitted with 4 mm socket terminals at both ends for electrical connections.
The frame is mounted on an insulated rod with a circular wooden base for stable positioning.
When current passes through the non-magnetic frame, the magnetic field produced around the conductor causes the needle to deflect, demonstrating Oersted's law.
