Magnetic Field in a Current Carrying Coil

The radial and axial magnetic fields of a current carrying coil are plotted versus position as the Magnetic Field Sensor is passed through the coil. The experimental results are compared to the theoretical model.

Featured Equipment

PASPORT 2-Axis Magnetic Field Sensor

This sensor enables you to measure radial and axial fields simultaneously when used with PASPORT Interfaces. Dynamic variable over-sampling greatly reduces noise at low sample rates.

PASPORT Rotary Motion Sensor

The PASPORT Rotary Motion Sensor measures angle, angular velocity, angular acceleration and linear position, velocity, and acceleration.

AC/DC Electronics Laboratory

Facilitates electricity experiments for AC and DC. Can be used as a stand-alone with a multimeter or with PASCO sensors and software.

Zero Gauss Chamber

Double-walled, high permeability metal chamber produces a zero Gauss field within the chamber.

Support

Many lab activities can be conducted with our Wireless, PASPORT, or even ScienceWorkshop sensors and equipment. For assistance with substituting compatible instruments, contact PASCO Technical Support. We're here to help.
