Description

Principle

The aim of this experiment is to study the behaviour of nickel, tungsten, and bismuth rods in a strong, inhomogeneous magnetic field. This field is formed, for example, between cone-shaped pole pieces that sit on a permanent magnet.
The rods are suspended horizontally on a long and very thin silk thread so that they can move freely.

Benefits

• Compact system to study the types of magnetism
• Robust setup

Tasks

1. Study the behaviour of nickel, tungsten, and bismuth rods in a strong, inhomogeneous magnetic field.
