BARLOW’S WHEEL
For demonstrating the conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy.
The metal Star shaped wheel is connected in a circuit with 4 mm socket terminals and a pool of mercury, The wheel can be raised out of the mercury to break the circuit, or lowered into the mercury to complete the circuit by adjusting the height on rod.
When the circuit is complete, a horseshoe magnet positioned around the wheel provides a magnetic field that interacts with the magnetic field created by the electric current, making the wheel move.
