Generator Lab

For the Generator Lab, we tested Faraday’s Law which states that changing magnetic fluxes through coiled wires that generate electricity. Each group was provided with one generator, one voltage probe, and one NXT adaptor. The currents and voltage depnded on the change of the magnetic flux, which were created through the shaking of the generator tube. The tube was shaken three different times with each time having a different number of shakes. Each shake provided different flucuationsand generated voltages. While shaking, the number for the voltage would sometimes dip into the negatives. A fourth time was to examine the voltages when the tube was not shaken. The number of voltages was significantly smaller compared to when the tube was shaked.
