Iron filings and wire setup


Hi,

Does anyone have the experimental setup for a wire with a current passing though it in the presence of iron filings.

I have bench power supplies that current limit, so i can't demonstrate the effect very well.

I want to be able to see the filings cause the swirling patterns.

Thanks,
Adam
