Deflection Magnetometer
A large aluminium pointer is rigidly fixed perpendicular to the magnetic needle. The circular scale is graduated in degrees.The Deflection Magnetometer serves as an indispensable tool in physics laboratories for studying magnetic fields and their applications. Its simple yet effective design, coupled with precise measurements, makes it a cornerstone apparatus in experimental physics.
Deflection Magnetometer is an essential apparatus for physics laboratories, specifically designed for studying the Earth’s magnetic field and magnetic interactions. This instrument helps in determining the magnetic moment of a bar magnet and the horizontal component of Earth’s magnetic field using the tangent law.
Features:-
- Robust Construction: Made from high-quality materials for durability and stability during experiments.
- Graduated Circular Scale: 360° calibrated scale for accurate angular measurement.
- Magnetically Shielded Needle: Provides precise deflection readings by minimizing external magnetic interference.
- Adjustable Stand: Includes a stable and adjustable wooden or metallic stand with leveling screws for accurate alignment.
- Glass Enclosure: Transparent casing around the needle allows for easy observation and protection from air currents.
Applications:–
- Measurement of magnetic field strength and direction.
- Verification of tangent law in magnetism.
- Calculation of magnetic moment of a bar magnet.
- Determination of horizontal component of Earth’s magnetic field.
