Description: The force of the electromagnetic interaction between a coil and a magnet can be shown with this demonstration. A large coil is suspended over a powerful magnet. The demonstrator switches on a current through the coil and the class observes a rotation of the coil. This rotation aligns the magnetic field generated by the electric current with the magnetic field created by the magnet. Parts: suspended coil, power supply, large magnet Purchased/Built: built Setup Time: 15 min. Quant. in Demo Room: 2 Demo References The Video Encyclopedia of Physics Demonstrations Disc 19-10 A suspended solenoid reacts with a bar magnet only when the current is on. Freier and Anderson Ei-7 A bar magnet is mounted in a large flat coil. Sutton E-124 The deflection of a compass needle in the center of a large coil placed in the plane of the magnetic meridian is proportional to the tangent of the current. Freier and Anderson Er-1 A solenoid on a pivot and a magnet on a pivot interact.
