Previous Next Vibrating Circular Wire # 7A50.40
Description: The Pasco's signal generator drives the Pasco's mechanical vibrator. The three node resonance is at 20 Hz. Turn up the amplitude after finding the resonance. Other resonance's are at 60, 100, 140 Hz. Purchased/Built: purchased Setup Time: 5 min Quant. in Demo Room: 1 Source: Pasco Scientific Demo References Meiners 38-6.5 A circular wire is excited at audio frequencies by an electromagnet drive to produce standing waves. Diagram, Pictures, Reference: AJP 33(10),xiv. The American Journal of Physics AJP 33(10),xiv Eigenfrequences of a 2.2" dia. wire circle are obtained by exciting with a 650 ohm relay coil.
