Oersted Demonstration Apparatus – Explore Current and Magnetism

Discover how an electric current generates a magnetic field and interacts with a permanent magnet using the Oersted Demonstration Apparatus. This educational tool allows students to visualize and experiment directly with fundamental principles of electromagnetism.

Features & Benefits:

• Clear demonstration of magnetic effects: a current-carrying wire produces a magnetic field, causing the magnetic needle to move.

• Well-balanced magnetic needle for precise and easy observation.

• Flexible setup: three binding posts allow current placement on part of the frame or around the full frame, and current direction can be reversed to observe changes in needle movement.

• Safe and simple: operates at low voltage (1.5 V to 3 V DC), ideal for classroom use.

Dimensions & Specifications:

• Size: 3" x 6" x 7"

• Three binding posts

• Balanced magnetic needle

• Low voltage operation

Why Choose This Apparatus:

• Perfect for physics classes, school labs, and STEM experiments

• Allows students to visually understand the interaction between electric current and magnetic fields

• Durable, safe, and easy to use, even for beginners
