Spinning Cylinder
Suspender
Build the circuit as shown. Set the meter (M5) to the 1A
scale. Drop the thin rod into the electromagnet.
Assembly
Set the right slide switch (S5) to “C” to turn on the circuit.
The thin rod gets suspended in mid-air by the
electromagnet. The left slide switch (S5) selects whether
the lamps or motor are on.
Operation
The thin rod is held in the air by electromagnetism , which
you will learn more about later.
Description
