Oersted Apparatus

Product Code : ILS-PLE-10212

Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Oersted Apparatus (Product ID: 10212) as part of its physics lab equipment range. It demonstrates Oersted’s discovery that an electric current deflects a nearby magnetic needle.

Quick Answer

A 75 mm cobalt steel needle on an agate bearing pivots on a plastic base inside a rectangular frame fitted with terminals. With the frame lined up north-south, passing a current through it deflects the needle, and reversing the current reverses the deflection. This shows that a current produces a magnetic field around it.
