Laplace Rail

Discover the concepts of  electromagnetism

Electromagnetism is one of the most abstract theories of physics. This apparatus helps students to approach with fun the concepts of interaction between electric charges and magnetic fields.

The sliding bar that closes the circuit can be set on motion moving a few permanent magnets (or other sources of magnetic field) in the surroundings of the rail; students will see the sliding bar moving and electric currents flowing if the apparatus is connected to a current probe.
