IEC SMALL CURRENT BALANCE KIT
The IEC Current Balance Kit is designed to fit directly to the EM0090-001 IEC Air Cored Solenoid (sold separately) to investigate the force between a magnetic field and the magnetic field of a current carrying wire.

A platform is firmly attached to the end plate of the solenoid and a slim blade carrying one single turn of conductor balances in sensitive pivots on the two small round support rods fitted to the platform.

A slot with a sliding mass balances the beam before any current is passed through either the beam conductor or the air cored coil. The earlier model used a less accurate metal strip around the beam.

When current is passed through both the solenoid coil and the single turn, the blade deflects due to the interaction of the magnetic fields. Small weights are added to the beam to restore the balance and the weight required is a measurement of the force on a conductor carrying current whilst inside a magnetic field. This is the theory that causes electric motors to turn.

Includes:
• Balance beam with sliding weight, pivots and pointer
• Platform with terminals and metal plates for the pivots to rest on
• Rubber band for attaching the platform to the end plate of the coil.
