IEC MINI SQUARE TANGENT GALVANOMETER
This robust IEC design is manufactured from non-magnetic materials. It is fully assembled ready for experiments relating to electric currents in a coil producing magnetic fields.
Using the earth’s magnetic field as one of the fields, this instrument proves that magnetic fields add as vectors and strength of a field in a coil is proportional to both the current flowing through the coil and the number of turns in the coil (Ampere Turns).

CAUTION: Do not overheat the coil
The resistance of the coil is very small and therefore only a very low voltage is required to cause about 1 amp to flow through the coil. At 1 amp the coil will heat gently but at higher currents it will heat more quickly. If higher currents are used, be sure the current is turned off after a short time to prevent overheating and damage to the coil.

Experiments:
• to prove that magnetic fields add as vectors
• to prove that field strength varies proportionately with the number of turns in a coil and the current passing through the coil.

Included:
• Square mini Tangent Galvanometer complete with 20 turn coil tapped at 5, 10 and 15 turns. Use about 2V DC for a maximum current of 1 amp.
• Magnetic compass fixed to the platform.

NOTE: This is a genuine IEC product.
We believe in supporting Australian industry and only sell genuine IEC products, we do NOT sell imported clones of IEC products.

• Product size: (HxWxD): 150x150x70mm
• Weight: 170g
