The secondary coil slides over the primary coil, and the soft iron core slides into either or both. This rugged device is sensitive enough to be used with voltmeters instead of galvanometers. The coils are wound around hollow plastic cores, with a turns ratio of approximately 2 (@370) to 1 (@200). Provides a look at electromagnetic induction, ferromagnetism and transformer theory.
Input Voltage: 6-8V DC

I was using a 12V/10A power supply and got the coil cooking pretty quickly. Probably best to use a battery.
This student size coil is well designed and nicely made.
