Magnetic Field Strength
In this lab, students use a 2-axis magnetic field sensor and the AC/DC electronics laboratory to determine how the strength of the magnetic field at the center of a current-carrying coil depends on the coil current and radius.

Featured Equipment
Wireless Magnetic Field Sensor
This 3-Axis Magnetic Field Sensor can sense the Earth’s magnetic field and fields from coils and bar magnets.
AC/DC Electronics Laboratory
Facilitates electricity experiments for AC and DC. Can be used as a stand-alone with a multimeter or with PASCO sensors and software.
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.
