Barlow’s Wheel - code: 4645.02
Discover Lorentz force without using mercury. Barlow's Wheel is an historical demonstration experiment of Lorentz force generated by currents flowing between the polar expansions of a magnet. Barlow's Wheels is an impressive piece of apparatus constituted by a wheel on low friction suspensions. The item is equipped with neodinium-iron-boron magnets that generate a strong magnetic field over the wheel that is therefore set on motion when crossed by currents. Students are challenged to find an explanation to the phenomenon making use of the concept of Lorentz force. Equipment needed
