Magnetic moment in the magnetic field

Item no.: P2430400 Principle A conductor loop carrying a current in an uniform magnetic field experiences a torque. This is determined as a function of the radius, of the number of turns and the current in the conductor loop and of the strength of the external field. Tasks Determination of the torque due to a

Coulomb potential and Coulomb field of metal spheres

Item no.: P2420500 Principle Conducting spheres with different diameters are charged electrically. The static potentials and the accompanying electric field intensities are determined by means of an electric field meter with a potential measuring probe, as a function of position and voltage. Tasks For a conducting sphere of diameter 2R = 12 cm, electrostatic potential

Stirling engine with Cobra3

Item no.: P2360415 Principle The Stirling engine is submitted to a load by means of an adjustable torquemeter, or by a coupled generator. Rotation frequency and temperature changes of the Stirling engine are observed. Effective mechanical energy and power, as well as effective electrical power, are assessed as a function of rotation frequency. The amount

Peltier heat pump

Item no.: P2410800 Principle The (cooling capacity) heating capacity and efficiency rating of a Peltier heat pump are determined under different operating conditions. Tasks To determine the cooling capacity Pc the pump as a function of the current and to calculate the efficiency rating hc at maximum output. To determine the heating capacity Pw of

Stefan-Boltzmann’s law of radiation with an amplifier

Item no.: P2350101 Principle According of Stefan-Boltzmann’s law, the energy emitted by a black body per unit area and unit time is proportional to the power “four” of the absolute temperature of the body. Stefan-Boltzmann’s law is also valid for a so-called “grey” body whose surface shows a wavelength independent absorption-coefficient of less than one.

Maxwellian velocity distribution

Item no.: P2320300 Principle By means of the model apparatus for kinetic theory of gases the motion of gas molecules is simulated and the velocities determined by registration of the throw distance of the glass balls. This velocity distribution is compared to the theoretical Maxwell- Boltzmann equation. Tasks Measure the velocity distribution of the “model

Equation of state for ideal gases with Cobra4

(gas laws: Gay-Lussac, Amontons, Boyle) Item no.: P2320160 Principle The state of a gas is determined by temperature, pressure and amount of substance. For the limiting case of ideal gases, these state variables are linked via the general equation of state. For a change of state under isochoric conditions this equation becomes Amontons’ law. In

Ultrasonic echography (A-Scan)

Item no.: P5160200 Principle An ultrasonic wave transmitted in a sample will be reflected at discontinuities (defects, cracks). From the relationship between the time of flight of the reflected wave and the sound velocity, the distance between ultrasonic transducer and defects (reflector) can be calculated. Position and size of these defects can be determined by
