  What: How Many: Where:
Note: Currently, this experiment was performed the previous week in Phys152,
so most of the equipment is simply moved across the hall
New Galvanometer 1 non-Majors storeroom, shelf P3
Bar magnet 1 non-Majors storeroom, shelf JJ4
Red coils (Use slender coils - see image below) 2 non-Majors storeroom, shelf P3
Compass 1 non-Majors storeroom, shelf JJ4
Single pole knife switch photo 1 non-Majors storeroom, shelf P3
Wires:
  • 2 – 12" (both black, or both red)
  • 2 – 24" (one black, one red)
  • 1 – 48" or 36" (color doesn't matter)
5 Bewkes 231 (Phys 152 Lab)
100 kΩ resistor mounted on blue resistor holder
(Color code: brown, black, yellow)
1 non-Majors storeroom, shelf P3
The following is set up on the left side of the sink:
Medium-sized Horseshoe magnet
(grayish–green)
1 non-Majors storeroom, shelf JJ4
The following are placed on the instructor's bench for a pre-lab demo:
Styrofoam bar magnet 1 non-Majors storeroom, shelf P3
Yellow plastic hoop 1 non-Majors storeroom, shelf P3
The Exit Quiz was removed for Spring 2023. Ask Jeff if this setup is needed!
The following are set up on the short bench by the sink for exit testing:
New Galvanometer 1 non-Majors storeroom, shelf P3
Bar magnets
(unknown polarity; ends taped over)
5 non-Majors storeroom, shelf JJ4
Yellow wire coil
(should be in box with red coils)
1 non-Majors storeroom, shelf P3

  • Use new coils, as shown below (do not use the iron core rod!)

    Red Coils
    Large outer coil; small inner coil (ours are red!); iron core
