Magnetic Fields
PHY 201 & 231
Students will use permanent magnets as well as an electromagnet along with a compass to view the generated magnetic field lines. They will also have some practice with the Lorentz force.
Equipment
| Name | Location | Quantity |
| Compass | JE-105A-S135,S46 | 1 per table |
| Power Supply, Extech (Model #382213) | JE-105A-X12/13 | 1 per table |
| Wires, Banana, Black, 55cm | In Front of JE105, JE107, JE109 | 1 per table |
| Wires, Banana, Red, 55cm | In Front of JE105, JE107, JE109 | 1 per table |
| Magnet, Ceramic, Dowling, 4.7x2.2cm | JE-105A-S75 | 1 per table |
| Coil, Inductor (Heath/Coilcraft) | JE-105A-S53 | 1 per table |
| Magnet, Horseshoe | JE 105A - S-75 | 1 per table |
Notes
Each table should have one bar magnet and one horseshoe magnet. The bar magnet used should be roughly 5cm X 2 cm X 1 cm and is visible in the picture. If 55 cm wires are unavailable other lengths can be used.
