Device for demonstrating Lenz's rule
Designed to investigate the dependence of the direction of induction current on the nature of the change in magnetic flux that causes the current in the following demonstrations:
Comparison of the interaction of a solid contour and a ring with a slit with a magnet;
motion of a solid ring as the magnet approaches the ring;
motion of the solid ring when the magnet is pulled out of the ring.
The device for studying Lenz's rule is a stand with a shaft (150 mm long) and two aluminum rings, one of which has a slit.
Suggested Experiments:
- Comparison of the interaction of a solid contour and a ring with a slit with a magnet,
- motion of a solid ring as the magnet approaches the ring,
- motion of the solid ring when the magnet is pulled out of the ring.
The principle of operation of the Lenz device is based on the interaction of a circuit with an induction current and a magnet whose motion is the cause of the current. The demonstrations require a strip magnet or a stack of ring magnets.
