Description
This simulation will allow students to generate electricity with a bar magnet. They will discover the physics behind the phenomena by exploring magnets and how you can use them to make a bulb light.
Using this simulation, students will:
- 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 causes the induction.
