Force on a Conductor Apparatus
Product Code : JA-EE-7637
The Force on a Conductor Apparatus (product code JA-EE-7637) demonstrates the motor effect, the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field. The force on a conductor apparatus has a pair of brass rails with 4 mm socket terminals set between the poles of a U-shaped magnet, and a brass axle with plastic discs that rests across the rails. When current flows through the axle it rolls along the rails, and its direction follows Fleming's left-hand rule.
Specifications
The apparatus consists of a U-shaped magnet, two brass rails with 4 mm socket terminals and a brass axle fitted with plastic discs. The axle completes the electrical contact between the rails and is free to roll.

Applications of the force on a conductor apparatus
The apparatus lets students see the motor effect directly and test how the direction of motion depends on the current and the field.
- Demonstrating the motor effect in secondary school physics
- Verifying Fleming's left-hand rule by reversing current or magnet
- Relating the force to the current supplied
- Introducing the principle of the electric motor
