Lenz's Law Apparatus


Consists of two metal rings connected by an aluminum beam that can rotate freely on a support. One of the rings is a closed loop; the other has an opening for comparison. When a bar magnet moves into or out of the loop the magnetic flux will change. According to Lenz’s law, a current will be induced in the loop to oppose the change. Students can verify the law by analyzing the movement of the loop. Comes with a comprehensive activity manual. Unit measures 8x6x3”.
