Description
The Oersted’s Apparatus with Magnetic Needle and Stand, also known as Oersted’s Law apparatus, is designed for demonstrating the magnetic effect produced by an electric current flowing through a wire. This apparatus allows students to observe how a magnetic needle deflects when current passes through a nearby conductor, helping demonstrate the relationship between electricity and magnetism. The supplied description states that a permanent magnetic needle rotates freely inside an aluminium frame, with the needle mounted on a sensitive agate bearing for smooth movement.
The current can flow over or under the needle and in either direction, allowing users to compare needle deflection when the direction or position of current flow is changed. The apparatus includes a sturdy base and binding posts as listed, supporting connection to compatible low-voltage laboratory leads and power sources. The product title references a 75 mm needle, while the description references a 15 cm long permanent magnetic needle. Users should confirm the final needle length before catalogue upload or ordering. This product is suitable for school science laboratories, university teaching laboratories and physics classrooms requiring a practical apparatus for electromagnetism demonstrations.
Users should confirm needle length, power source, current limit, lead compatibility, circuit layout and experiment method before use. Do not connect directly to mains electricity or unsuitable power supplies. Use only with approved low-voltage educational circuits. Avoid excessive current, short circuits, overheating of wires, incorrect connections and nearby strong magnets that may affect the needle response.
This product is intended for laboratory or educational settings only and should be used under appropriate supervision. This item is supplied as the Oersted’s apparatus with magnetic needle and stand only. Power supply, batteries, connecting leads, compass, worksheets, PPE and additional electricity or magnetism accessories are not included unless specified separately.
LabChoice Australia supplies Oersted’s Apparatus and physics teaching equipment for school science laboratories, university teaching laboratories and educational facilities requiring practical tools for electricity, magnetism and electromagnetism demonstrations.
