Shaker experiment
In Class Activity:
We used a hand powered generator, (a tube with a magnet in it) to create energy. The generator. We counted the shakes and the voltage was calculated via a computer program. We then calculated the sum of the squares of the voltages and plotted them in a graph to see the correlation which resulted in a linear curve.
Number of SHakes & sum of Sqs
22 16.00569
41 133.4468
71 61.2941
90 96.83239
154 239.8341
Faraday’s law is supported, the greater the magnetic influx the greater the voltage produced. As there were more shakes, more voltage was created and the square of the voltages increased.
