Product Code : SCL-EE-12468
Quick Answer: The Magnetic Field Along Straight Conductor apparatus demonstrates the circular magnetic field that forms around a straight wire when electric current passes through it.
Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
- Shows the circular field pattern around a current-carrying conductor
- Relates field direction to current direction
- Supports practical teaching of the right-hand thumb rule
- Turns the magnetic effect of electric current into an observable experiment
About This Product
A field indicator is placed near the straight conductor and current is passed briefly, so students can see the field form around the wire. Reversing the current, where the design allows, shows the field direction change as well, and the result is related to the right-hand thumb rule. The apparatus fits lessons on electromagnetism and can be compared with an Oersted's Law Apparatus.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the right-hand thumb rule show here?
If the thumb of the right hand points along the current, the curled fingers give the direction of the circular magnetic field around the wire. The apparatus lets students check this by observation.
