Magnetic field outside a straight conductor
Article No: P2430500
A current which flows through one or two neighbouring straight conductors produces a magnetic field around them. The dependences of these magnetic fields on the distance from the conductor and on the current are determined. Benefits Four different current conductors allow the observation of the magnetic field in different configurations Experimental setup allows the visualization of the Maxwell Equations No extra calibration needed, Teslameter is calibrated up to 1 T Tasks Determination of the magnetic field of a straight conductor as a function of the current, of a straight conductor as a function of the distance from the conductor, of two parallel conductors, in which the current is flowing in the same direction, as a function of the distance from one conductor on the line joining the two conductors, of two parallel conductors, in which the current is flowing in opposite directions, as a function of the distance from one conductor on the line joining the two conductors.
