The Study of Elementary Electricity and Magnetism by Experiment: Containing Two Hundred Experiments Performed with Simple, Home-made Apparatus
=No. 80.= A Wheatstone's bridge (Fig. 103), including a scale (No.
100). The aluminum straps, 1, 2, 3, are fastened to a neat wooden base,
10 in. long by 2 in. wide. A No. 28 German-silver wire is used for the
bridge.
=No. 81.= A piece of No. 30 uncovered German-silver wire, 2.1 meters
long, used for resistance (Fig. 96).
=No. 82.= A piece of No. 28 uncovered German-silver wire, 2.1 meters
long.
=No. 83-85.= Three plate binding-posts, consisting of bent straps of
sheet aluminum (X, Y, Z, Fig. 96).
=No. 86.= Two ounces of copper sulphate, commonly called bluestone. The
crystals may be kept in a large wooden pill box.
=No. 87.= One dozen copper washers.
=No. 88.= One combination rule, 1 ft. long, marked with English and
metric systems.
=No. 89.= A hollow coil of No. 24 insulated copper wire (Fig. 130). The
spool, on which the wire is wound, has a hole for a five-sixteenths
inch core. It is turned down thin, so that the wire is near the
core. The coil is about 1-1/8 in. long and 1 in. in diameter. Spring
connectors are joined to the ends of the coil.
=No. 90.= A hollow coil of No. 25 insulated copper wire, similar to No.
89, with spring connectors attached to its ends.
=No. 91.= Carbon rod for electroplating.
=No. 92, 93.= Two soft iron cores, with screws (I C, Fig. 130). These
cores are 5/16 in. in diameter, and have a threaded hole in one end for
fastening them to No. 94.
=No. 94.= A tin box with three holes punched in its top (Fig. 132).
This serves as a base, as well as a yoke, for the two electromagnets,
A, B, shown in plan.
=No. 95.= Combination connecting plates (Fig. 132). Three aluminum
straps are fastened to a wooden base. They are turned up at their ends
so that spring connectors can be easily pushed upon them.
=No. 96.= One long iron core (L I C, Fig. 140). This is of soft iron,
5/16 in. in diameter, and long enough to pass through both coils (No.
89, 90).
=No. 97.= Bar magnet, about 4 in. long and 5/16 in. in diameter.
=No. 98.= Coil of insulated wire wound on a soft iron core, to act as
a primary coil for induction experiments. This coil fits inside of the
hollow coils (Nos. 89, 90).
=No. 99.= A printed degree-card for the galvanoscope (No. 58). This is
printed on stiff cardboard, about 3 in. in diameter.
=No. 100.= A printed scale for the Wheatstone's bridge (No. 80). This
is printed on stiff paper. The scale is 8 in. long, and is divided into
10 large divisions, each of which is subdivided into 10 parts, thus
making 100 parts in all.
