Electromagnetic Fields

Measure the electromagnetic field strength of two coils with different radii and number of coil windings as the current flowing through the coils is varied. Then use the magnetic field strength and current data to determine an experimental value for the permeability of free space.

Featured Equipment

Primary and Secondary Coils

Provide a look at magnetic induction and transformer theory.

PASPORT 2-Axis Magnetic Field Sensor

This sensor enables you to measure radial and axial fields simultaneously when used with PASPORT Interfaces. Dynamic variable over-sampling greatly reduces noise at low sample rates.

PASPORT Voltage-Current Sensor

This sensor allows students to safely measure voltage and current without overload risk.

Support

Many lab activities can be conducted with our Wireless, PASPORT, or even ScienceWorkshop sensors and equipment. For assistance with substituting compatible instruments, contact PASCO Technical Support. We're here to help.
