A basic property of electromagnetism is the mechanical force which exists between two neighboring, current-carrying conductors. However, observing the small force with simple conductors requires large currents. The Force Between Conductors Demonstrator offers a simple, direct and convincing method of basic electromagnetic phenomenon using a simple, clear arrangment of an electric circuit. The device consists of a metal frame which supports two long straight conductors that can pivot about vertical axes. The base of the frame contains an enclosed power supply to energize the conductors and momentary switch for safety.
