Coil and compass needles

An exhibit for CERN in Geneva

.

Pressing and holding a button to switch on an electric current through the coil produces a strong magnetic field, whose pattern is shown by the compass needles.

When current is flowing a red indicator illuminates and the polished acrylic block, supporting the coil and protecting the wires, is lit up from beneath.
