In the most recent lab, we explored the ideas stated in Faraday’s Law. According to the law, chancing a magnetic field inside a coil of wire will generate a current through that wire. In the lab we used shake flashlights to simulate the idea. With a voltmeter attached to the coil inside the light, we were able to measure the voltage over time while shaking the apparatus. After averaging the data, we were able to make sense of i, and concluded that the more shakes we get in per minute, (more intense the shaking) the more current was generated in volts.

I like how you described more the intensity of the shakes determines the increase volts. There is a brief summary of the experiment, but you could have explained the process. How did you feel about the experiment? Did you like it? Nice work.
