Description

A wire is positioned between the poles of a horseshoe magnet, resting on a mass balance.  When a current runs through the wire, the force of the current on the magnet registers on the balance.  The magnetic field can be varied by removing each of the five horseshoe magnets one by one.  The magnetic field strength can be measured with a Wireless Magnetic Field Sensor (PS-3221).
