Forces on conductors inside magnetic fields and between current carrying conductors
This demonstration exhibits forces on current carrying wires when placed inside a magnetic field. The magnetic field can come in
Oersted’s law
Ørsted’s law, or Oersted’s Law states that when a steady electric current passes through a wire it creates a magnetic
Temperature Dependence of Resistivity of a Metal Wire
This apparatus shows the effect of temperature on resistance of a common metal, such as copper. The idea is simple.
Triboelectricity, Gauss’s law and Van de Graaf Generator
The triboelectricity is a contact electrification which results from frictional contact of two different materials. This effect is used
