About This Product
When current flows through the coils, the soft-iron core becomes magnetised and holds the armature across its two poles. Students use it to compare field strength with current, to study the motor effect and to test lifting force by hanging loads from the armature hook. Laboratories and colleges in Costa Rica, Papua New Guinea, France, Italy, Palestine and Indonesia can buy the Electromagnet ‘U’ shape through an export order.
