Liquid Convection Apparatus

Liquid Convection Apparatus

Supplier: Avantor

The movement of liquid currents due to differences in temperature is demonstrated by introducing dye into the water in the tube. One corner of the tube is heated and the movement of the dye clearly establishes the currents. The rectangular shaped tube measures 15×21 cm and has an opening at the top.

CENCO Coulomb and Current Balance

CENCO Coulomb and Current Balance

Supplier: Avantor

This sensitive balance has as adjustable counterweight and an optical lever for measuring tiny forces by the null method. It comes with a pair of straight aluminum rods for measuring the repulsive force between parallel current-carrying conductors and a pair of plates for measuring the attractive force between charged capacitor plates. A current of 10 to 20A is required to cause sufficient deflection in the electromagnetic experiment. Fractional weights are then added to a small pan attached to the upper conductor rod to return the balance to its original position, determining the force between the conductors.
