Product Overview
Eddy Current Pendulum – Investigate Eddy Current Braking
This apparatus allows students to investigate the fascinating phenomenon of eddy current braking. The setup includes two aluminum plates (solid and slitted) suspended within the gap of an electromagnet. When the electromagnet is powered, the aluminum plates experience braking forces due to induced eddy currents, demonstrating the principles of electromagnetic induction and energy dissipation.
Key Features:
-
Includes two interchangeable aluminum plates: solid and slitted.
-
Electromagnet gap provides the space for plates to interact with the magnetic field.
-
Requires a DC 12 V power supply (not included).
Note: The photo may display two units for illustrative purposes, but the price is for one base unit with both plates.
