Philip Harris Westminster Electromagnetics Kit

Ideal for secondary schools and colleges, this comprehensive kit enables up to 8 students to explore key concepts in electromagnetism through hands-on investigations. Designed to support practical science lessons, it provides all the essential apparatus for a wide range of experiments.

• Sufficient equipment for 8 student groups

• Supports experiments on magnetic fields, electromagnets, motors, transformers, and more

• The kit includes:

  • Special magnets,

  • C-cores,

  • Yokes and armatures for constructing the model motor,

  • Insulated copper wire,

  • Compasses,

  • Iron filings,

  • MES and neon lamps

  • Detailed Teacher's Notes describing the procedures and theoretical background.

  • Spare parts available: Mild Steel Yokes/Cradles (B8H26370), Shafts (B8H26412), Armatures (B8H26369), White Cotton Reels (B8R01314), and Tinned Copper Wire (B8A90929).

• The experiments catered for include:

  • General investigation of magnets including attraction, repulsion, and the magnetic meridian

  • Investigation of the magnetic field due to magnets with highly visual activities

  • Investigation of the magnetic field due to electric current, including simple galvanometers, electromagnets and vibrators

  • Forces on currents in magnetic fields including: moving coil ammeter; simple electric motor construction and use; electromagnetic induction- the dynamo

  • Alternating current: transformers and power line

  • Eddy current and damping
