About This Product
The lateral coil is used to determine field strengths or flux density inside the air gap of magnets or solenoids. Applying an a.c. or d.c. signal lets the effect of interacting magnetic fields be studied, and a signal generator is also required for use. An Axial Search Coil is available separately. Export supply of the Lateral Search Coil can be arranged to laboratories and schools in Haiti, Kiribati, Guinea-Bissau, Honduras and Bulgaria.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Is anything else needed to use the coil? Yes. A signal generator is also required for use.
