In this work, a method to measuring the magnitude of a uniform magnetic field in space using current balance was described. A simple experimental set was designed and constructed using low-cost materials. This constructed current balance consists of copper sheet, weight pan, and acrylic sheet. A copper sheet was cut into a U-shape and attached at the end of acrylic balance arm. A weight pan was hanged in the opposite side of the balance arm with high sensitivity to a small torque. The horizontal segment of the U-shaped copper sheet, which the length l was 3 cm, was located inside the influence of an uniform magnetic field produced by two parallel bar magnets with opposite poles facing each other. The magnetic field direction was perpendicular to the horizontal segment. When a current was supplied to the copper sheet, the magnetic force acting on a horizontal segment of length l carrying a current I in a magnetic field B was given by. In the experiment, the current was varied from 0 1 A. For each value of applied current, the magnetic force on a thin straight sheet of length l was measured by adding masses to the pan until the balance arm moved to the equilibrium between opposing gravitational and magnetic forces. The results showed that the magnetic force increased linearly with increasing applied current. By plotting a linear graph of magnetic force versus applied current, the magnetic field B can be calculated from . The calculated and actual values of B were 100.32 and 100.13 mT, respectively. This constructed current balance is an excellent tool for high school and undergraduate fundamental physics courses. Students will be excited when they see the balance arm rising or going down due to magnitude and direction of current flowing in a conductor wire.
