Experiment set ELECTRICS 6

Description

Large effective surface for experiments

The key component of this experiment set is a basin with dimensions of 243 x 208 mm and transparent floor which is printed with a three-colour coordinate system. This makes it easier to copy the equipotential points obtained in the experiment onto a similarly printed piece of paper.

In addition both the electrode holders are made of high-quality plastic and are so small that they barely impede the view of the potential field at all. They have sockets for connecting leads and knurled screws for attaching the electrodes themselves.

Normal tap water

Normal tap water is all that is needed for the measurements. Feet adjustable by screws allow the basin to be easily adjusted to a perfectly horizontal position.

Versatile experiments

The appropriate combination of six electrodes allows all the important experiments for investigating electric fields to be carried out using lines of equal potential. The experiments are carried out using AC voltage. A digital multimeter with a high input resistance is used as the measuring instrument.
