Charles Law Apparatus is a scientific device used to demonstrate and study Charles's Law, which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant pressure. The apparatus typically consists of a sealed container connected to a graduated tube or syringe, allowing measurement of gas volume changes as temperature varies. It is widely used in physics and chemistry laboratories for educational and experimental purposes, helping users understand gas behavior under thermal changes.
Contact key
Product Description
The Contact Key is a fundamental switching device used in electrical circuits to manually open or close the flow of current. Commonly used in physics laboratories for demonstration and experimentation with circuits, it enables controlled activation of current for brief or sustained durations. Made from durable, conductive metals with insulating bases, Contact Keys are essential components in circuit testing, timing devices, and low-voltage experimental setups.
Diffraction Gratings
Diffraction Gratings are precision optical components used to disperse light into its component wavelengths for spectral analysis. These gratings consist of a surface with a series of closely spaced lines or grooves that diffract incoming light at specific angles depending on wavelength, enabling separation and measurement of spectral bands. Available in transmission or reflection formats, diffraction gratings are made from materials like glass or quartz and are often coated for enhanced optical performance. They are widely used in laboratories, research institutions, and industrial applications involving spectroscopy, photonics, and laser systems.
Glass Rod for Static Electricity
Glass Rod for Static Electricity is a smooth, cylindrical rod made from high-quality glass designed specifically for generating static electricity through friction. Commonly used in physics laboratories and educational demonstrations, this rod serves as a fundamental tool to study electrostatics by producing and transferring electric charges when rubbed with materials like silk or wool. The rod’s chemically resistant, durable glass surface allows repeated use without degradation. It is an essential apparatus for teaching concepts such as charge generation, attraction, repulsion, and the behavior of static electricity in various materials.
Leslie cubes
Leslie Cubes are metal cubes used in physics laboratories to demonstrate the principles of thermal radiation and emissivity. Each face of the cube has a different surface finish—such as polished, blackened, or white—which affects its heat radiation properties. When heated, Leslie Cubes allow students and researchers to observe how surface texture and color influence heat emission, making them essential for studies in thermodynamics and heat transfer.
Linear expansion apparatus
Linear Expansion Apparatus is a laboratory device used to measure the expansion of materials when heated. It helps in studying the thermal expansion properties of solids by precisely quantifying the change in length as temperature varies. Typically made from durable metals and fitted with precise measurement scales or sensors, this apparatus is essential in physics and materials science labs for investigating thermal behavior of materials.
Model steam engine
A Model Steam Engine is a scaled-down, functional representation of a steam-powered engine used primarily for educational, demonstration, and hobbyist purposes. This apparatus demonstrates the basic principles of thermodynamics, mechanical energy conversion, and steam power operation in a compact, visible form. Typically constructed from metal components such as brass and steel, the model includes key parts like a boiler, piston, cylinder, crankshaft, and flywheel. Steam generated in the boiler expands and pushes the piston, converting thermal energy into mechanical motion that turns the flywheel. Model steam engines are invaluable tools for physics and engineering education, illustrating steam mechanics, energy transfer, and engine operation clearly and tangibly. They are also popular among collectors and model enthusiasts.
Plastic Cell Holder
A Plastic Cell Holder is a laboratory accessory used to securely hold electrochemical or dry cells (batteries) in place during physics or electrical experiments. It is typically made from non-conductive, durable plastic and may feature metal terminals or spring-loaded clips for electrical connections. These holders provide a stable and safe platform to integrate batteries into circuits for educational demonstrations, testing setups, or prototyping purposes. Designed for use with common battery sizes (such as D, C, AA, or specialized cells), the holder ensures easy insertion, removal, and reliable connection of power sources without short-circuiting. It is widely used in physics labs, electronics training, and school science kits.
