Eddy Current Demonstrator, 12" Long MPN:EDYCR1
Eddy Current Demonstrator, 12" Long
Demonstrate the fundamental principles of Lenz's Law with our Eddy Current Demonstrator. This hands-on device showcases the braking effect of eddy currents on a falling magnet, allowing students to visualize the phenomenon in action. By using a copper tube and two metal slugs, one plain steel and one strong neodymium magnet, educators can easily illustrate the concept. Perfect for physics classrooms and experiments, this demonstrator provides a unique teaching tool for understanding the behavior of magnetic fields and their interaction with conductors. Its compact size and ease of use make it an ideal addition to any educational setting.
Top product features:
- Demonstrates Lenz's Law using eddy currents induced in the wall of a copper tube by a falling magnet.
- Includes a plain steel slug that falls quickly through the copper tube for comparison.
- Features a strong neodymium magnet slug that falls slowly through the copper tube due to the braking effect of eddy currents.
Top product applications:
- Physics education
- Science demonstrations
- Research and development
A simple but effective device for demonstrating Lenz's Law using eddy currents induced in the wall of a copper tube by a falling magnet. The demonstrator consists of a 12" long copper tube and two apparently identical metal slugs with rubber end caps. One slug is plain steel and falls through the copper tube quickly. The other slug is a strong neodymium magnet that falls very slowly through the tube due to the braking effect of eddy currents. Includes activity guide.
