Faraday's Electromagnetic Lab Description

Play with a bar magnet and coils to learn about Faraday's law Play with a bar magnet and coils to learn about Faraday's law. Move a bar magnet near one or two coils to make a light bulb glow. View the magnetic field lines. A meter shows the direction and magnitude of the current. View the magnetic field lines or use a meter to show the direction and magnitude of the current. You can also play with electromagnets, generators and transformers! Sample Learning Goals * Predict the direction of the magnetic field for different locations around a bar magnet and an electromagnet. * Compare and contrast bar magnets and electromagnets. * Identify the characteristics of electromagnets that are variable and what effects each variable has on the magnetic field's strength and direction. * Relate magnetic field strength to distance quantitatively and qualitatively. * 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.
