J5-12: MAGNETIC FIELD - EME SET - TWO-TURN HELIX
- J5-12
- Visualize the magnetic field around a two-turn helix.
- The magnetic field around a two-turn helix can be visualized by sprinkling iron filings in the area around where the helix passes through a plastic sheet which is positioned on an overhead projector. Alternatively, small compasses can be arranged within and around the helix.
