Magnetic rollers apparatus

Function and Applications

A multitude of physical phenomena can be represented:-

• longitudinal waves,
• elastic collisions,
• reflections,
• conservation of momentum,
• propagation of a pressure perturbation in a gas,
• barometric altitude formula, etc.

Equipment and technical data

• The apparatus consists of an U-profile running track which has a demonstration subdivision on both sides.
• A bolt at each end of the track stops the rollers from rolling out and acts as a recoiling support for the adjacentroller.
•  Every magnetic roller contains a cylindrical magnet (d = 28 mm,l = 6 mm) magnetised along the axis.
• Each face of a plastic magnet encasement is fitted with two rolling surfaces which can be set on the track.
• The poles of the magnetic rollers are identified by colours.
• Length of profile: 1 m.
• Colour subdivision in 5 cm segments.
• Diameter of Magnetic roller: 30 mm.

Accessories

• Standard accessories: 12 magnetic rollers (11065.01)
