SPECIFICATION

Inthe Gouy’s method of susceptibility measurement, the solid sample in the form of a long cylinder (area of cross section A) is hung from the pan of a balance and is placed such that one end of the sample is between the pole-pieces of the magnet (field H ) and the other one is outside the field. The force exerted on the sample by the inhomogeneous magnetic field is obtained by measuring the apparent change ( Dm ) in the mass of the sample. The susceptibility c is given by
c= 2Dmg/AH2
If the sample is in the form of powder, it is filled in a long nonmagnetic tube which is then suspended from the pan of the balance.
 
 
The set up consists of the following:
  1. Scientific Balance
    • Capacity  :  200 gms
    • Sensitivity  : 1/10 mg. by vernier
    • Beam  :  Hard Bronze/ Brass
    • Arrestment  :  Circular, falling away type
    • Air Damping  :  Very quick and positive, 
    • beam coming to rest in 2-3  sec
    • Chainomatic Device  :  A gold plated chain is suspended from the beam  with its other end screwed on the Device rotating drum on which a scale graduated from  0 to 10 div each division representing 1mg is installed. By the movement of this scale before a vernier, reading upto 1/10th mg is taken
  2. Sample in the form of a long rod: Set of samples
  3. Electromagnet
    • Pole Pieces  :  75mm tappered to 25mm
    • Mag. Field  :  20KG mm airgap
    • Energising Coils  :  Two of approx. 13W each
    • Power  :  0-90Vdc, 3A, for coils in series 0-45Vdc, 6A, for coils in parallel
  4. Constant Current Power Supply
  5. Gaussmeter
