Description: Electron Spin Resonance is simulated using a ball and
Helmholtz coils. The ball contains magnet whose moment points long the
black stem of the ball (see picture above). The gravitational field of
the Earth acts as a constant magnetic field and the alternating field is
produced by switching the direction of current in the coils.
Special Instructions: Remember to turn on the air pump.
