PURPOSE: To show Paramagnetism and Diamagnetism.

DESCRIPTION: A liquid oxegyn making cone is filled with liquid nitrogen.  The liquified oxegyn drips into a small dewar beneath the cone.  Once the little dewar has been sufficiently filled the liquid oxegyn is poured between the poles of a strong magnet that has a pair of pole concentrators attached.

A piece of bismuth is placed onto a scale and a strong rare earth magnet is brought very close.  The scale shows a force.

EQUIPMENT:.

SETUP NOTES: None.
