Educational demonstration coil for physics experiments, manufactured by SF (PASCO Scientific) in Germany, dating from 1960–1970, plastic construction, 145 mm high, 65 mm wide, 135 mm deep, weight 805 g, designed for AC up to 6 V and used with a U- or I-shaped iron core as part of a demonstrator transformer, in good used condition with minor signs of aging and spots.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This object is a demonstration coil for physics experiments, used to show how electromagnetism and transformers work. The designation 0-6V~ indicates that the coil is designed for an alternating current (AC) of up to 6 volts. The wavy line (~) symbolizes alternating current. The logo with the letters SF stands for the manufacturer of educational scientific equipment (such as the well-known PASCO Scientific SF series).
Important features and operation
Function: This specific coil is slid over a U-shaped or I-shaped iron core. Together with a second coil, it forms a detachable transformer.
Copper wire: Around the core you can see neatly wound enamel-coated copper wire.
Application: In education, this component is used to make visible principles such as induction, magnetic fields and the conversion of voltage (stepping up or down).
A fun learning tool in the physics class, fascinating to see how it works with more or less voltage, which I also learned in my first year of college.
Weight is 805 grams and it is in working top condition.
Ideal for collectors or a man cave and for schools, because it is fascinating to see how it all actually works.
