Electricity/Magnetism Learning Activities
Avantor offers a complete catalogue of instruments and tools useful for demonstrating key, basic concepts of physics that are applicable to everyday life both in and out of the laboratory. Demonstrate core ideas such as acceleration down a plane, friction, potential and kinetic energy, electrical conductivity, magnetic fields, wavelengths and velocity of sound, and more. Durable educational materials are designed for heavy use with consistent levels of handling, and all models are easy to use.
Tangent Galvanometer
Measure an electric current by determining the magnitude and direction of the horizontal component of Earth’s magnetic field. Set the compass needle parallel to the coil, pass an unknown current through, and measure the angle of deflection. Features copper magnet wire, adjustable potentiometer, compass, and non-magnetic stand. Required but not included is one D battery.
Conductors; Set of Three
Made of brass, interchangeable on pillars, fitted with insulators of ebonite on base. Spheres 5cm diameter, Cylinder 12.5 x 5cm diameter, Cone 10 x 5cm length x diameter.
Condenser Box
This condenser box provides different values of Electrolytic capacitors, ranging from 1μF to 4.7μF. Built on a 8 x 5" plastic box. All these capacitors are of ± 10% tolerance and are of 63 volts working voltage.
Demonstration Electrophorus
Comprised of a thick plastic base with four rubber feet, along with with an 18cm diameter aluminium plate with an insulating handle.
BASIC Stamp Discovery Kit, USB
This module has enough program space, execution speed, and I/O pins for many applications.
