Deflection Magnetometer Compass
A deflection magnetometer compass is a sophisticated instrument used to measure the strength and direction of a magnetic field. It employs the principles of magnetism and the deflection of a magnetic needle to determine the magnetic field’s characteristics.
Product Information:-
Deflection Magnetometer Compass for Physics Lab – A small magnetic needle having 100 mm needle at right angle in a tough plastic case. Cord marked with points of the compass and degrees. Can be used in magnetometer experiments.
Deflection Magnetometer Compass is a vital apparatus in physics laboratories for studying the behavior of magnetic fields and measuring the horizontal component of Earth’s magnetic field. This instrument combines the functionalities of a deflection magnetometer and a compass, making it ideal for experiments in magnetostatics and geomagnetism.
Features:-
- High Sensitivity Magnetic Needle: Suspended on a fine pivot to detect slight magnetic deflections.
- Graduated Circular Scale: Marked in degrees for precise angular measurements.
- Sturdy Wooden or Metallic Base: Ensures stability during experiments.
- Adjustable Mirror: Enhances visibility of the needle pointer from above.
- Transparent Cover with Markings: Protects the needle while allowing easy observation.
Main Components:–
- Magnetic compass needle (pivoted, freely rotating)
- Transparent glass or plastic base
- Aluminum or brass casing
- Adjusting screws for leveling
