Lorenz Force


Demonstrates the motion of electrons in a magnetic field, and determines the charge-to-mass ratio of an electron (e/m). Accelerating voltage is continuously variable between 0 and 250V. Polarity of voltage on deflecting plates and polarity of electromagnet can both be reverted. Lorenz tube is 180° rotatable. With built-in power supply, instruction manual and wooden storage case. 35X45X30 cm. 24.2 lbs. Instruction manual included.

Millikan Oil Drop Apparatus

built-in lamp
This unit was designed for student labs in modern physics. It allows students to obtain the fundamental electric charge in 2 ways by balancing the oil drop and by measuring its velocity. The charged oil drops can be varied by a built-in mercury lamp. The motion of the oil drops can be observed with an eyepiece, or on a monitor. Instruction manual included.
