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

2-Axis Magnetic Field Sensor

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.

AC/DC Electronics Laboratory

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.

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.
