- Magnetic Field
- Induction
Description
Generate electricity with a bar magnet! Discover the physics behind the phenomena by exploring magnets and how you can use them to make a bulb light.
Sample Learning Goals
- Identify equipment and conditions that produce induction
- Compare and contrast how both a light bulb and voltmeter can be used to show characteristics of the induced current
- Predict how the current will change when the conditions are varied.
- Explain practical applications of Faraday's Law
- Explain what is the cause of the induction
