In this lab, we generated voltages using magnet. There, three relations we should be aware of before we start explaining about my experiment, these relations exist between electricity and magnetism. Electric current flow will always produce some form of magnetism, magnetism is by far the most commonly used means for producing or using electricity and the peculiar behavior of electricity under certain conditions is caused by magnetic influences. Faraday’s Law states that changing magnetic fluxes through coiled wires generate electricity (currents and voltage).
When the magnet is being moved back forth, electricity and voltage are being generated because of the change in the magnet flux. Whenever there is a change in the magnet flux, electricity is being generated.
In this lab we had to practice this law, we were given a tool like a flashlight and it works by shaking it. However, we used the NXT to measure the voltage are being generated from the flashlight. We had a period of 30 seconds, and we had to try different amounts of shakes. The following graph will determine our results.
As it can be seen, when raise the number of shakes more voltage is being generated.
In conclusion, this lab explains the electromagnetism and applications of it.
It is very helpful to understand electromagnetism by the relationships between electricity and magnetism you included in the beginning.
Great way of introducing Electromagnetism. The relationships were clearly stated and comprehensible.
