    If you are using a top-loading electronic balance: Figure 3 Setting Up the SF-8607 Basic Current Balance With the Magnet Assembly sitting on the balance, tare Mount the Main Unit on a lab stand having with a rod the reading by pressing the appropriate switch on the 3/8 inch (1.1 cm) in diameter or smaller.
  • Page 8 Current Loop in the magnetic field. Six Current Loops are The magnetic field is varied by changing the number of supplied with the SF-8607 Basic Current Balance magnets that are mounted on the Magnet Assembly. (We Kit. The lengths are: recommend you mark the north pole of each magnet, to help students during setup.) The magnetic field strength...
