A version of traditional piece of equipment for demonstrating the effect of current flowing through conductor in the presence of magnetic field. Connection is made via the 4 mm sockets attached to the side rails. When current of up to 8 A flows, the crossbar rolls one way or the other under the action of the electro-magnetic force. With clearly labelled poles to the magnet it is easy to demonstrate Fleming's Left Hand Rule.

This current balance apparatus (BIL coil) consists of a printed circuit board coil mounted on a support handle. The board has 2 coils one with 5 turns and one with 10 turns, rated at 2 A. The apparatus can be used to measure the force on current carrying conductor in magnetic field. permanent magnet should be placed on the pan of digital balance (a yoke with 2 ceramic magnets will work) and the BIL coil mounted in vertical plane between the magnets. When connected to low voltage power supply and ammeter, the balance will be deflected and the new reading can be taken. The force on current carrying conductor and field strength can then be calculated.

This demonstration motor comes ready assembled, with an open construction which clearly shows the design working parts of a simple motor. The motor is mounted on a robust wooden base with acrylic end plates with 4mm sockets and comes complete with ceramic magnets and yoke. Requires 1 -3 Volt DC laboratory power supply (not included). Overall Dimensions (L x W x H): 125 x 75 x 60 mm.

A silk cloth ideal for electrostatic investigations. Dimensions (L x W): 300 x 300 mm.

This Parallel Plate Capacitor demonstrates the working of capacitor; a device which allows the storage of electrical energy in the electric field created between a pair of conductors on which electric charges of equal magnitude, but opposite polarity, have been placed. The apparatus will show the dependence on capacity to the distance between the plates and the nature of the medium between them. Dielectric materials can be placed between the plates for further investigation.

This apparatus allows visualisation of electric fields between various electrode configurations, in a similar way to how iron filings allow visualisation of magnetic fields. It is constructed from transparent acrylic, which allows it to be placed on an overhead projector for class demonstrations but can also be used on white surface for use with visualisers or for direct observation by smaller groups. In order to create electric fields large enough to influence the particles, a high voltage, low current 2-5kV EHT power supply is required. Apparatus includes electrodes, clear acrylic base with 4 mm sockets to clamp electrodes and connect power supply, petri dishes and instructions.
