- Purpose: Demonstrate that changing magnetic flux induces emf.
- Push magnet into solenoid and galvanometer needle deflects, indicating induced emf; pull magnet out of solenoid and galvanometer needle deflects the opposite way.
Location
- Solenoid and magnet:L01, section B2
- Galvanometer: L35, section F3
- Purpose: Illustrate that a changing magnetic flux induces an emf.
- Use a B-field indicator, or compass, to show direction of B-field around magnet; connect coil of wire to galvanometer and move coil in and out of B-field to deflect galvanometer needle.
- Location: magnet and coil located in L01; galvanometers are in L35, shelf F3, in plastic bin.
- Show that flux (# of sticks that poke inner lining of plastic
bag) is independent of shape of enclosure.
- Located in L02, section D1.
