On October 26 2015, we are going to use a tube that has a magnet that will go back and forth through a coil of wire. This is called a generator and it can generate power. How it works is according to Faraday’s Law; changing the magnetic fluxes through coiled wires will generate electricity. The greater the change in magnetic flux, the better the current and voltage is.

To prove this law, we will perform it in real life.

First, we linked the LEGO mindstorm (NXT) with an adapter, then using a voltage probe, we connect it to the coils of the generator, then to the computer to get the results using the program LabVIEW.

We will perform 5 experiments, each with a different number of shakes and all of them will be a thirty second time interval.

The first one was  zero number of shakes meaning no shakes at all, the second one was 25 shakes, the third one was 65 shakes but faster, the fourth one was 90 shakes and a bit more faster, and the last one was 105 shakes but much more faster and stronger.

After performing all 5 different shakes, we get the sum of the squares of the voltages. Graphing it on Microsoft Excel, we get a trending positive linear graph, what does this mean? It means that Faraday’s Law was right, the faster we shake the tube, the greater the voltage and current is.
