Article No: P2430900
The aim of this experiment is to study the behaviour of nickel, tungsten, and bismuth rods in a strong, inhomogeneous magnetic field. This field is formed, for example, between cone-shaped pole pieces that sit on a permanent magnet. The rods are suspended horizontally on a long and very thin silk thread so that they can move freely. Benefits Compact system to study the types of magnetism Robust setup Tasks Study the behaviour of nickel, tungsten, and bismuth rods in a strong, inhomogeneous magnetic field.
