Overview:

In this experiment, we learned about Faraway’s Law which states that changing magnetic fluxes through coiled wires generate electricity (currents and voltage). We shook a tube which has a magnet that will travel back and forth through a coil of wires. We will be showing that the faster we shake the tube, the greater will be the generated voltage.

Apparatus

• usb
• generator
• battery
• voltage probe

Procedure:

1. We shook the tube at a particular rate.
2. Counted the number of shakes.
3. Find the sum of squares of the voltages (SSQV). (voltage logged after each second on the Excel)
4. Repeated steps 1-3 with 3 different rates of shakes.
5. Plotted the SSQV’s as a function of # of shakes and fit the result to a linear curve.

Data:

Interpretation:

As the number of shakes increases, the sumsq of voltage increases as well.
