Abstract:
Abstract: The UME Kibble balance project was initiated at the second half of 2014. During this period we have studied the theoretical aspects of Kibble balances in which an oscillating magnet generates AC Faraday’s voltage in a stationary coil, and constructed a trial version to implement this idea. The remarkable feature of this approach is that it can establish the link between the Planck constant and a macroscopic mass by one single experiment in the most natural way. Weak dependences on variations of environmental and experimental conditions, small sizes and other useful features offered by this novel approach reduce the complexity of the experimental setup. In the present seminar we describe the principles of oscillating magnet Kibble balance and give details of the preliminary Planck constant measurements. The value of the Planck constant determined with our apparatus is with a relative standard uncertainty of 6 ppm.
