Earth model with internal magnet and pivoting probe magnet.
• D+30+4
Earth model with internal magnet and pivoting probe magnet. A large electromagnet inside this apparatus mimics the earth's magnetic field. An exploring-magnet on a pivot investigates the direction of the field lines. Note that the magnetic north pole does not coincide with the axis-of-rotation north pole.
