Electromagnetic Induction

Another series of demonstrations! Use a current to make a magnetic field! Use a magnet to generate a current!

Student Objectives

  • Observe the force exerted by a magnet on a current-carrying wire
  • Establish the parameters which affect the magnitude and direction of the observed force
  • Use a magnet to create an electric current through a wire
  • Determine the parameters which affect the magnitude and direction of the observed current
  • Demonstrate the magnetic field generated by an electric current
  • Learn the basic principles of motors and generators
