Quick Answer: Induced Current Apparatus is a tabletop electromagnetic induction demonstrator: moving a magnet towards or away from a coil produces an induced current that shows on a connected indicator.
Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
Coil arrangement, magnetic component, connecting terminals and indicator
A changing magnetic field through the coil induces a current
Current is generated without a direct cell or battery supply
Magnet movement at different speeds and directions shows variation in the induced current

About This Product
Students move the magnet at different speeds and in opposite directions and watch how the indicator responds, linking what they see to Faraday's law, changing magnetic flux and the generator principle. Among Physics Miscellaneous Products, it gives electricity and magnetism chapters a direct demonstration of current produced by motion.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Induced Current Apparatus demonstrate? It shows that an electric current is induced in a conductor when the magnetic field through the coil changes, for example when a magnet is moved towards or away from it.
Q2. What happens when the magnet is moved faster or in the other direction? Repeating the movement at different speeds and directions shows variation in the induced current on the indicator.
