K1-02: FORCE BETWEEN CURRENT-CARRYING WIRES - PROJECTION

PURPOSE: To demonstrate the force between two adjacent parallel current-carrying wires.

DESCRIPTION: Two pairs of wires are included in an overhead projector setup: one carries parallel currents and the other carries antiparallel currents. Connect power supply to the desired wires. Parallel currents attract and antiparallel currents repel.

SUGGESTIONS:

REFERENCES: (PIRA 5H40.10)

EQUIPMENT: Parallel and antiparallel wire projection device and power supply.

SETUP TIME: None.
