Force on A Conductor Balance
Product Code : JA-PLE-4143
The Force on A Conductor Balance (SKU JA-PLE-4143) is a current balance showing that a conductor carrying a current in a magnetic field is subjected to a force of attraction or repulsion, depending on the direction of the current. This current balance for force on a conductor lets students rebalance the beam with a 1 g rider on a 0–75 mm scale, and JaincoLab supplies it for senior-school and college electromagnetism practicals.
Specifications
The balance has a 160 x 140 mm plastic base with two contact pillars, a beam supported on two bearings that form the fulcrum, screwed masses for sensitivity and zero adjustment, a scale marked 0 to 75 mm in 1 mm divisions and a 1 g rider.

Applications of the current balance for force on a conductor
With the beam balanced and no current flowing, a current is passed through the conductor placed in a magnetic field and the resulting force tips the beam; moving the 1 g rider along the scale restores balance, so the force can be compared for different currents and directions.
- Demonstrating the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field
- Showing that reversing the current reverses the direction of the force
- Comparing the force for different currents by rebalancing with the 1 g rider
- Supporting lessons on the motor effect and Fleming’s left-hand rule
